Summary: configure --prefix=/opt fails to search
/opt/<subdirs> for packages
-Status: Open
+Status: Not a bug
Type: Bug
Package: *Configuration Issues
Operating System: AIX
PHP Version: Irrelevant
Block user comment: N
Private report: N
New Comment:
The --prefix option is the directory that PHP will be installed. It isn't used
as a search path. Run "./configure --help" to check the option to use. See --
with-libxml-dir
PHP 5.4 uses the 2.59+ versions of the tools
To use a specific version of the build tools, install that version and then
run,
for example:
export PHP_AUTOCONF=autoconf-2.13
export PHP_AUTOHEADER=autoheader-2.13
./buildconf
If you use buildconf in older versions of PHP, you need to manually clear the
caches first with:
rm -rf config.cache autom4te.cache

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?
