Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:configure --prefix=/opt fails to search /opt/<subdirs> for
packages
Description:
------------
./configure --prefix /opt
====
Basically, to resolve this I "patch" configure so that all references to
/usr/local are replaced by /opt.
Note: I have tried
./buildconf --force
but get the following message:
root@x104:[/data/prj/php/php-RC1-5.3.18]./buildconf --force
Forcing buildconf
buildconf: checking installation...
buildconf: You need autoconf 2.59 or lower to build this version of PHP.
You are currently trying to use 2.68
Most distros have separate autoconf 2.13 or 2.59 packages.
On Debian/Ubuntu both autoconf2.13 and autoconf2.59 packages
exist.
Install autoconf2.13 and set the PHP_AUTOCONF env var to
autoconf2.13 and try again.
make: *** [buildmk.stamp] Error 1
======
I went to the autoconf downloads and see that autoconf-2.59 is rather
ancient, and wonder if this problem is already resolved using newer tools?
