#26388 [Com]: Unable to compile php-gtk on Slackware

ID: 26388 Comment by: k dot dambekalns at fishfarm dot de Reported By: dbellizz at angmar dot com Status: Wont fix Bug Type: PHP-GTK related Operating System: Slackware 9.1 PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: This comment from http://gtk.php.net/manual/en/installunix.php helps (autoconf 2.58 used): ---- snip ---- Simple solution to PHP_GTK_ARG_ENABLE problem detailed below. This must be added to this page and the README, please oh please! ./buildconf aclocal ./buildconf (again!) ./configure make make install I also needed to make the following change to my php.ini: extension_dir = /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ Once that was in place, the tests ran beautifully! ---- snip ---- Karsten Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-01 10:11:21] alan_k@php.net It will probably be fixed in GTK2, unless someone who knows autoconf/build system jumps forwards and offers a fix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-01 09:12:43] dbellizz at angmar dot com Sigh what do you want me to say. Your software doesn't work with newer versions of autoconf. To me thats a bug which is still valid but I get the impression that your not going to make any effort to fix this or offer a workaround. I guess I really didn't need to the use the app that required php-gtk anyway. Walks away bummed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-01 03:13:56] sniper@php.net No feedback was provided.

The combination of libtool 1.4.2, automake 1.4 and autoconf 2.13 is known to work; mileage may vary with other version combinations." I think (from memory) the biggest issue is probably autoconf - I dont think we've ever managed to get 2.57 to work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-25 08:13:16] dbellizz at angmar dot com automake (GNU automake) 1.7.8 ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.3 (1.922.2.110 2002/10/23 01:39:54) autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
