Re: ./configure stupidity

I think it's very good as it is. ./configure actually is almost a standard for every compilation and is not ment to be used by a programmer but by a system admins. Linux is not Windows. If you really want to learn to compile a php create in a day or two a complete line with everything you ever think you need about php or compile them as modules, save the config line in a file and keep it on a CD. From version to version are very few changes to the ./configure options. -- ------------------------------------------------- Cristian MARIN - Developer InterAKT Online (www.interakt.ro) Tel: +4021 312.53.12 Tel/Fax: +4021 312.51.91 cristic@interakt.ro "Nico Sabbi" <nsabbi@officinedigitali.it> wrote in message news:BDEPJJPHDIGCJOBMFPHCMEJBIDAA.nsabbi@officinedigitali.it... > > Hi, > > I wonder why at compile time ./configure doesn't automatically detect what > features are compilable and what not, so as to > build in php as much as possible. > > There isn't even such an option available, with the result that everytime I > recompile PHP I end-up missing some group of functions > that I didn't expect to need. > > > > Thanks, > Nico > >
