I'm getting slightly frustrated. As a sys-admin (Not an expert by any
strech of the imagination) I have yet to come across a installation/upgrade
that is as unintuitive and undocumented as Midgard. I download 5 different
tar ball all for one peice of software install. In the 5 tarballs there
are install files, which give fairly good instructions on how to install
each peice, but where is one file that ties everthing together? I know
that you need to have libraries installed before the package, but for
someone who hasn't had the programing experience how is he to know that you
install midgard-lib before mod-midgard? Yes there is a few places on the
site that do give an order, and instructions, but they are outdated
compared to the new betas. I have yet to find where expat-lib is mentioned
anywhere, or how it related to the other peices of the install. I had to
resort to random guessing in attempt to get my install to fly. I can see
why there are seperate tarballs, for upgrading but for a fresh install it
would probally solve alot of problems to have one tarball with a nice
little INSTALL file in the main dir that listed the order and the steps.
Another nice feature whould be to have a UPGRADE file that was updated at
each release to show what parts of the package need to be upgraded
depending on previous version. I'm totally sold on the design of Midgard
but over half of the questions to the list are install issues and it would
be nice to cure this not just treat the symptoms. You guys have done an
awesome job of coding it, the docs as I know are in progress.
My question (yes I do have one) is. What are the steps that I would have
to take for an upgrade from 1.3(something) to 1.4b5. So yes sitegroups are
already working and such but what parts of the tars at for me?
I have done this so far.
config and make for expat-lib
config and make for midgard-lib
config and make for mod-midgard
on make for midgard-php I get this error
gcc -g -O2 -DLINUX=2 -DMOD_SSL=206102 -DUSE_HSREGEX -DEAPI -DUSE_EXPAT
-I../lib/expat-lite -fpic -DSHARED_MODULE -I. -I.

In file included from internal_functions.c:71:
functions/php3_gd.h:44: gd.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [internal_functions.o] Error 1
I can't seem to find the gh.h header file that php3.gd.h wants to include.
What am I missing? Thanks for your help.
