ID: 26609 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: 4CVS-2003-12-12 (stable) New Comment:
The minimal expected knowledge from someone compiling from source is to know the Gnu configuration/make tools, the PHP manual is not the place to educate them on this respect. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-12-12 16:33:57] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Description: ------------ For most of the configure options that take a DIR argument, there's no definition what that DIR is. It might be obvious for people who know about configure, but other people seem to use --with-XXX-dir=/usr/include or --with-XXX-dir=/usr/lib quite often. "Install directory" could even mean the source directory from which the extension was installed. Expected result: ---------------- Perhaps a sentence like "'install directory' (DIR) below is the directory that contains an include and lib directory. So use e.g. --with-EXTENSION=/opt/extension and _not_ --with-EXTENSION=/opt/extension/lib." in the output of "configure --help" and/or on http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.configure.php would be helpful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26609&edit=1
