PHP 4.0 Bug #7725 Updated: configure fails to found system headers during `Running system checks' phase

ID: 7725 Updated by: sniper Reported By: p.pastori@acsys.it Status: Feedback Bug Type: *Install and Config Assigned To: Comments: Could you try latest snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/ to verify if this is fixed in it? --Jani Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-09 10:08:46] p.pastori@acsys.it Rightly you simply use the prepocessor during the check phase, instead of try to compile. Standard autoconf macros AC_CHECK_HEADER and AC_CHECK_HEADERS would probably invoke the compiler. Anyway be carefull to properly parse the prepocessor output before take any assumption, on my OS the preprocessor simply prints `warning' lines which let you assume that i miss the header under check. I had to manually change the configure script at line 5499 to solve the problem but you may do something better (i suppose). Following there is the modified configure's line: ac_err=grep -v '^ *+' conftest.out | grep -v 'warning' | grep -v "^conftest.${ac_ext}$" as you note i simply add a pipe into a `grep -v 'warning'' and now it's ok. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7725
