Everything compiles fine, there are some complaints about signedness
from the compiler, but it all looks ok. But when I run the PHP test
suite, over 70 tests fail, including ones I wouldn't really expect,
like on the function easterdate(). I can not find any hints anywhere
on what might be happening, so I'm wondering if these tests really
are that important. Should a completely default, standard, stock
install of php5 with MacPorts pass all the PHP self tests fine?
The thing is, when I set up everything myself (not using MacPorts to
compile php5) the same set of tests failed - the config of php5 did
reference various macport installed libraries, etc. I am now at the
point where I am wondering if I ought to toss all of MacPorts and try
to install everything myself that is needed to compile php5.
So any advice, pointers on where to look, or hints on 64 bit vs 32
would be greatly appreciated
Hi. I'm the maintainer of php5 in MacPorts.
On the few occasions when I have tried "port test php5", it did not
pass everything either. Please feel free to enter into a dialog about
this with the developers of PHP. I have not had the energy to do so
myself. They're often quite rude in responding to bug reports and I
haven't felt like being abused lately.
I checked out some of the test reports and the Expected Output was
hardly what the code would output as far as I could tell / program in
PHP.... So I'm not too worried.
I recommend you use MacPorts for all your software installation needs,
including PHP. You could build it all yourself, but it would be a lot
of work figuring out things that we have already figured out in
MacPorts. If the software available in MacPorts doesn't fully meet
your needs, please bring it to our attention so that we can improve
the ports until they do meet your needs.
I wanted to include a few extensions, and dropped one from the supported
list IIRC. I also wanted to compile against an install of Percona's
MySQL - I could not find anything in the ports list of MacPorts related
to Percona. Like I said, my install of PHP failed the same set of tests
the MacPorts compile of PHP did, so it's not something specific to
MacPorts I presume.
What to modify and how things worked in MacPorts was pretty obvious, so
it all went smoothly; I have PHP set up using MacPorts. Thanks for all
your work and everyone else on MacPorts!
I have not attempted to compile php5 as a universal binary or 64-bit.
I would not be surprised if it did not work. If you try it and it
works, or if you can figure out how to make it work, please let us know.
But if the test suite doesn't work, how does one really know...? :)
