Re: CGI and CLI [packaging issues]

Just FYI, 'make install-cli' is not the only way to install the CLI there, 'make install' may put it there too. For example: 'make install' copies CLI to {prefix}/bin/php ./configure --with-apxs 'make install' copies CGI to {prefix}/bin/php ./configure --enable-cli 'make install' copies CGI to {prefix}/bin/php ./configure This is because both --enable-cgi and --enable-cli are defaults. If one specifies a module SAPI, such as apxs, then CLI is copied as 'php' because --disable-cgi is implicitly called.
