util.c error generic solution.

I've seen a lot of problems posted in the mailing-list regarding Apache 1.3.x + PHP + some database package, and it doesn't seem to matter which one. Here is the problem I encountered, and what it took to resolve it. I hope this can shed some light on the situation if it is indeed currently unsolved as it appears to be. I found that when trying to build Apache with PHP support on a RedHat 5.1 system, the file src/main/test_char.h in the Apache source tree is incorrently created as an empty file. This causes the build process to fail in a blinding fury of util.c error messages. I manages to fix this by removing test_char.h running "make test_char.h" manually, changing back into the Apache source root and re-running "make" This problem does NOT exist when one doesn't attempt to compile in PHP module support. Here are the versions of the various software involved, and my configure lines. mysql-3.22.11-beta ./configure --prefix=/opt/mysql --enable-assembler --without-perl php-3.0.5 ./configure --with-apache=/home/eroper/build/apache_1.3.3 --with-mysql=/opt/mysql --without-debug apache_1.3.3 ./configure --prefix=/opt/apache --enable-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
