Re: PHP 4.2.1 build problems on Solaris (plus fix)

There is indeed a bug in autoconf 2.13, but autoconf 2.53 is even buggier. It broke many things for people trying to install 4.2.0. The easy solution for solaris users is to run: CC=gcc ./configure ... That should solve the problem.

The 'configure' script failed with checking for OpenSSL version... configure failed: openssl > 0.9.5 is required even if a correct version of openssl 0.9.6c exists. This is a bug because PHP 4.2.0 will build without any problems using exactly the same 'configure' parameters. I discovered the build failure is due to the change of the autoconf version from PHP 4.2.0 to PHP 4.2.1 that created the 'configure' script. The result is that PHP 4.2.1 builds may fail on Solaris. Here is my fix. You have to install the latest GNU m4/autoconf/automake utilities from ftp.gnu.org on your Solaris machine and re-run 'autoconf' in the PHP 4.2.1 build directory to re-create a correct 'configure' script. I installed GNU m4 1.4 GNU Autoconf 2.53 GNU Automake 1.6 Now, 'configure' will work as expected. If this can be confirmed, a note in the INSTALL file would be appreciated.
