Bug description: mcrypt french documentation error
Description:
------------
There's a slight mistake in the french translation of the 'mcrypt'
introduction page.
The english version can be found here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mcrypt.php
The french version here:
http://www.php.net/manual/fr/ref.mcrypt.php
On that page there's an 'Installation' section.
Here's the english version:
"Installation
You need to compile PHP with the --with-mcrypt[=DIR] parameter to enable
this extension. DIR is the mcrypt install directory. Make sure you compile
libmcrypt with the option --disable-posix-threads."
And here's the french version:
"Installation
Vous devez compiler PHP avec l'option --with-mcrypt=[DIR] pour activer
cette extension. DIR est le dossier d'installation de mcrypt. Assurez-vous
de compiler libmcrypt sans l'option --disable-posix-threads."
The problem lies in the last sentence regarding that compilation option.
Basically the french translation says the exact opposite of the original
text: "Make sure you compile libmcrypt *without* the option
--disable-posix-threads."
Well so far I've heard that PHP is not guaranteed to be thread-safe so it
sounds quite normal to me to compile modules/associated libs *without* any
threads stuff. So compiling libmcrypt *with* that --disable-posix-threads
option sounds right.
Moreover I think the original english documentation has been reviewed more
often than the french translation and an error in the english documentation
would have aroused comments.
Well. Considering that the original english documentation is right, the
french translation should read:
"Installation
Vous devez compiler PHP avec l'option --with-mcrypt=[DIR] pour activer
cette extension. DIR est le dossier d'installation de mcrypt. Assurez-vous
de compiler libmcrypt avec l'option --disable-posix-threads."
