PHP 4.0 Bug #6521: phpize or related broken: no Makefile produced after ./configure

From: troels@arvin.dk Operating system: Red Hat Linux 6.2 PHP version: 4.0 Latest CVS (03/09/2000) PHP Bug Type: Other Bug description: phpize or related broken: no Makefile produced after ./configure This has worked in PHP 4 releases prior to 4.0.2: After a PHP install, you could copy a PHP extension like gettext (which is properly prepared for being a self-contained extension) to a temporary directory and do phpize ./configure --with-gettext=shared This produced a working Makefile. An example of another extension that would work like this: zlib. Since 4.0.2, the phpize+./configure steps do not produce a Makefile. If the extension's Makefile.in is copied to Makefile and the following lines How PHP was installed: Grabbed latest CVS, to ./buildconf and "./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs"; make install On other words: A quite normal installation without any bells/whistles. Analysis: The only file which seems to be missing is the Makefile. If Makefile.in is copied to Makefile and the following lines are added in the beginning of the file, then the self-contained extension compiles without errors: top_srcdir = . top_builddir = $(top_srcdir) srcdir = $(top_srcdir)/ builddir = $(top_srcdir)/ VPATH = $(top_srcdir)/
