Bug #5698 Updated: Non internal MySQL support won't ./configure nicely on Debian...

ID: 5698 Updated by: cardinal Reported By: steelhawk@usa.net Old-Status: Analyzed Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.1pl2 Assigned To: Comments: Checking lib and lib/mysql was added before 4.0.1 was released, according to the CVS tag. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-08-17 11:55:15] chrisv@php.net I think the way to solve this isn't adding 2 configure options. The only difference between this installation and any other "standard" mysql installation is -- Headers: [MYSQL]/include/mysql Libraries: [MYSQL]/lib The standard installations (from a tarball, etc) install to: Headers: [MYSQL]/include/mysql Libraries: [MYSQL]/lib/mysql So the appropriate solution is to check for MySQL libraries within lib/ and lib/mysql instead of just the latter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-07-24 21:12:30] waldschrott@php.net Seems to be an OS specific Feature/Change Request --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-07-20 14:48:23] steelhawk@usa.net There should really be a way to supply different paths of the MySQL headers and libraries... if you have the Debian mysql packages ./configure --with-mysql=<something> can't be done as you can then only find either the headers OR the libs... (example: /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so and /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h) It'd be really nice to be able to supply --with-mysql-includes= and --with-mysql-libraries= or something like that... so you don't have to create symlinks all over your system... Thanks in advance... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION! Do NOT reply to this email!
