ID: 3708 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: All PHP Version: 4.0 Beta 4 Patch Level 1 New Comment:
no, BCMath is not anymore bundled with PHP: Due to changes in the licensing, the BCMATH library is distributed separate from the standard PHP source distribution. You can download the tar-gzipped archive at the url: http://www.php.net/extra/number4.tar.gz. Read the file README.BCMATH in the PHP distribution for more information. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.bc.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-01 18:48:38] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Most extensions check that the required libraries are found and if not, the configure breaks at that point and tells what is missing. (and bcmath libraries are bundled with PHP) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-03-02 11:52:35] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This was a request to the list. A good idea, if we can ever implement it. Obviously not a big issue, though. " The error message is not particularly meaningful. I suggest that the build process checks for availability of the bcmath stuff and indicates where to download this if the required files are missing. In fact, I suggest that all configure fragments handle this as follows: - if the configuration option requests that a module is included, but the config stuff cannot find that module under the indicated location and any of the default locations, - configure issues a warning including the URL where the missing module can be downloaded. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=3708&edit=1
