I've spent several days exploiting bugs in PHP4 build environment. There are many little problems there but I've found biggest one: for self contained extensions any check for PHP_ARG_WITH resulted in 'yes' even if such check failed due absence of additional library needed to compile. This code snippet from configure for IMAP module shows problem: -------------------------------------------------------------------- echo $ac_n "checking for Kerberos support in IMAP""... $ac_c" 1>&6 echo "configure:980: checking for Kerberos support in IMAP" >&5 # Check whether --with-kerberos or --without-kerberos was given. if test "${with_kerberos+set}" = set; then withval="$with_kerberos" PHP_KERBEROS=$withval else PHP_KERBEROS=no fi [..... skipped .....] if test "$php_always_shared" = "yes"; then ext_output="yes, shared" ext_shared=yes test "$PHP_KERBEROS" = "no" && PHP_KERBEROS=yes fi ----------------------------------------------------------------------- So, even if I have no kerberos libraries on the system, PHP_KERBEROS will be defined to 'yes' resulting in errors in module creation. There are bunch of modules which rely on such multiple PHP_ARG_WITH in config.m4. Even more worse situation is in the Readline extension: (config.m4 from ext/readline) PHP_ARG_WITH(libedit,for libedit readline replacement, [ --with-libedit[=DIR] Include libedit readline replacement.]) PHP_ARG_WITH(readline,for readline support, [ --with-readline[=DIR] Include readline support. DIR is the readline install directory.]) So after phpize and configure calls both HAVE_LIBEDIT and HAVE_READLINE will be defined to 1 resulting in errors in code. -- Sincerely yours, Alexander Bokovoy The Midgard Project | www.midgard-project.org | Aurora R&D team Minsk Linux Users Group | www.minsk-lug.net | www.aurora-linux.com ALT Linux Team | www.alt-linux.org | Architecte Open Source -- If you fool around with something long enough, it will eventually break.
