#37855 [Opn->Bgs]: ./buildconf fails without obvious warning

ID: 37855 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: bens at effortlessis dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: *Compile Issues Operating System: CentOS 4.x PHP Version: 4.4.2 New Comment: There is no way why you have to run buildconf yourself. You can use phpize for those external extensions. In order for buildconf to work properly you need a good working set of autotools which you don't seem to have (see the warnings when running buildconf for example). See http://php.net/anoncvs.php at the end for the recommended versions. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-06-20 01:58:49] bens at effortlessis dot com Description: ------------ Buildconf fails to operate as needed - it does not write a new ./configure script. Therefore, installing new extensions (such as php-template, http://php-templates.sourceforge.net) is not possible. PHP release 4.3.4 is the last release I'm able to get working. Although there's a warning about cache code, I'm running a LATER than recommended release of autoconf! Reproduce code: --------------- /bin/sh; # tar -zxvf php-4.4.2.tgz; # cd php-4.4.2; # ./buildconf --force; Expected result: ---------------- [root@kepler php-4.3.4]# ./buildconf --force Forcing buildconf using default Zend directory buildconf: checking installation... buildconf: autoconf version 2.59 (ok) buildconf: Your version of autoconf likely contains buggy cache code.
