Bug description: updating build-system to autoconf 2.5x
After updating autoconf to 2.52 I've noticed that php is
working with this autoconf version yet.
Even 'autoupdate' didn't helped to fix it.
I've taken a look at the generated shell code and noticed
that some 'if-then-else' had an empty else-tree (else fi)
which caused several unexpected shell exits.
These empty else-trees were the result of the following
commands:
AC_CHECK_FUNC(yp_get_default_domain,
[php_no_nsl_checks=yes],[ ])
^^^
That [ ] is the problem. If it is replaced by [] the else
tree won't be build.
This applies to nearly all macros. The only exception is
AC_DEFINE which requires a [ ] as third parameter if it is
set at all.
Another issue was the PHP_SUBST in the acinclude.m4. I
don't know what the five PHP_SUBST are doing there, but
they will have to go into the configure.in the satisfy
autoconf.
(acinclude.m4:930 [somewhere there])
PHP_SUBST(EXT_SUBDIRS)
PHP_SUBST(EXT_STATIC)
PHP_SUBST(EXT_SHARED)
PHP_SUBST(EXT_LIBS)
PHP_SUBST(EXT_LTLIBS)
I've uploaded the corresponding patch to
http://jan.kneschke.de/projects/phpbugs/php4-20010821.diff
The patch is just a proof of concepts and doesn't fix
every glitches, but it provides an working example.
