To get even more off-topic: We're happy about contributors! The PHP project is quite limited on people working on the websites, every help welcome. And to justify the mail a bit more: Brian Moon said in this thread about PHP: "a ./configure && make && make install are the most commonly used things and things that users _expect_ to be there." Which isn't true. PHP by default enables only modules which don't depend on external libraries, so no zlib support, no mysql supprt, no openssl, ... by default. But as there's no rule without exception: XML support, depending on libxml2, is enabled by default and some libs (pcre for instance, sqlite) are bundled and activated, while then again not all bundled libs are activated (gd, as gd optionally depends on libjpeg, libpng, ...) So it's a chaos and no example to follow. What I find more interesting in PHP is the way modules (extensions) are handled bythe build system so they can easily be compiled statically in PHP or as .so and can be built stand alone without the the complete PHP sources ... johannes > On Mon, Jan 4, 2010 at 6:53 AM, Brian Moon <[email protected]> wrote: > > The Mozilla site is a little more user friendly.
