PHP 4.0 Bug #3242: make install fails: cp: libs/libphp4.a: No such file or directory

From: nathanr@tip.net.au Operating system: FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE PHP version: 4.0 Beta 3 PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure Bug description: make install fails: cp: libs/libphp4.a: No such file or directory My system successfully compiles and installs PHP3 (ie. my system works, and I've compiled PHP3 many times before). However, with 4.0B3 I did: $ ./configure --with-java=/usr/local/jdk1.1.8 --with-pgsql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.x --enable-track-vars Works fine $ make Works fine $ make install (as root - Here is the part that goes wrong) mkdir -p /usr/home/sabre/download/apache/apache_1.3.9/src/modules/php4; cp libs/libphp4.a /usr/home/sabre/download/apache/apache_1.3.9/src/modules/php4/libmodphp4.a; cp ./sapi/apache/mod_php4.* sapi/apache/libphp4.module /usr/home/sabre/download/apache/apache_1.3.9/src/modules/php4; cp ./apMakefile.tmpl /usr/home/sabre/download/apache/apache_1.3.9/src/modules/php4/Makefile.tmpl; cp ./apMakefile.libdir /usr/home/sabre/download/apache/apache_1.3.9/src/modules/php4/Makefile.libdir cp: libs/libphp4.a: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop. My analysis is that for some reason the libs/libphp4.a isn't created during compile time and the install script can't find it.
