Re: [RFC] Starting 5.3

Hello Oliver, we are discussing situations where make is no option here. Everone that hasmake as an option and all tools available can always easily do: pecl install <extension> Without the pear or pecl commandyou can also simply download the pecl extension package and do the following: tar -x <package> phpize ./configure make make install Also still easy enough. However this is in many situation not possible at all. For once it is impossible if you are using a shared server. best regards masrcus Thursday, May 10, 2007, 10:29:08 PM, you wrote: > Am Freitag, 4.
