[PHP-DEV] ./configure and docs From: Shane Owenby (shane <email protected>)
Date: 12/19/99

While coming up to speed on the build and install steps of PHP I have found
some issues: (all relating to 3.0.12 CVS as of Dec/19/99)

1. README.configure (from apache-1.3.10-dev) has 3 ways to build PHP. Step
two doesn't seem to be supported by PHP any longer (the other 2 ways still work).
Step 2 says:
  2. How you can install Apache with a dynamically linked PHP:

    $ gunzip <apache_1.3.X.tar.gz | tar xvf -
    $ gunzip <php-3.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -
    $ cd apache_1.3.X
    $ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/apache
    $ cd ../php-3.0
    $ ./configure --with-shared-apache=../apache_1.3.X
[Here is where the problems is, as the current (Dec/19/99 CVS tree) ./configure
doesn't have an option for --with-shared-apache. I am not autoconf expert, but
I did look in configure.in to see if it was recognized and it wasn't. Autoconf
silently accepts flags that aren't supported...so no error was generated. The
build of PHP will work, except the CGI version will be built. Since running
PHP as a module is much preferred I would figure these docs should be changed
or updated as the case may be]

    $ make
    $ make install

    [optionally you now have the chance to prepare or add more
     third-party modules to the Apache source tree]

    $ cd ../apache_1.3.X
    $ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/apache \
                  --activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a \
                  --enable-shared=php3
    $ make
    $ make install

So I am asking you guys if you think this should be taken from the Apache docs
or has the flag to allow this behavior changed to something different.

2. No matter how I run ./configure this error always happens:
...
updating cache ./config.cache
creating ./config.status
./configure: -q: command not found
./configure: -q: command not found
creating Makefile
...

I have ran make -f build.mk cvsclean, and rm -f config.cache, but nothing seems
to help. Am I not calling ./configure with a special option that is needed?
I also tried ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode.

3. I have my cvs account working great, but I am unable to find a place to
enter username/passwords to change entries in the bugdb via the web. Where can
I RTFM on this.

Thanks
