#37473 [Opn->Asn]: MacOS X documentation update

ID: 37473 Updated by: bjori@php.net Reported By: philip@php.net -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Mac OS X PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: rbowen Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-08 17:52:21] philip@php.net This bug is partially solved. Example of bad: http://php.net/manual/en/install.macosx.client.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-08 17:45:22] danbrown@php.net Philip, this appears to have been fixed in the XML sources, but never closed. See if it's to the level you envisaged (nearly three years ago) and then perhaps we can close this off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-05-17 08:31:18] philip@php.net Description: ------------ The Mac OS X install section of the manual is outdated. Some considerations: 1. Precompiled packages It appears darwinports is the most up-to-date resource for this, with fink being another common resource. entropy.ch offers a popular build with excellent information too but using a popular command such as 'port' seems more documentation worthy. We could link to all three with emphasis on darwinports. Also, these docs should never link to a specific file as they do currently (libphp4.so.gz), these docs should be generic in nature. 2. Compiling it The documentation should provide information for users wanting to compile PHP themselves as currently this information does not exist within the 'MacOS X Client' docs. There are some user comments that look helpful for this, and if needed we could also ask a few "mac experts" out there for helpful tips/info for making this process work, and mention common problems that could come about. 3. The "provided by Marc Liyanage" can be removed, we do not write author information in the manual. Whoever updates these docs will be rewriting them anyways... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37473&edit=1
