PHP 4.0 Bug #3708: Have configure detect missing pieces of modules and generate warnings

From: joey@samaritan.com Operating system: All PHP version: 4.0 Beta 4 Patch Level 1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Have configure detect missing pieces of modules and generate warnings This was a request to the list. A good idea, if we can ever implement it. Obviously not a big issue, though. " The error message is not particularly meaningful. I suggest that the build process checks for availability of the bcmath stuff and indicates where to download this if the required files are missing. In fact, I suggest that all configure fragments handle this as follows: - if the configuration option requests that a module is included, but the config stuff cannot find that module under the indicated location and any of the default locations, - configure issues a warning including the URL where the missing module can be downloaded. -- kk@netuse.de"
