Patching php port
Hello all I am trying to install the php 5.2.6 port with thttpd. I have a patch file to make it compile with version 2.25b, because the standard version only works with 2.21. The patch works but the files always get overwritten when I run the build again. How do I do this? These are the commands I used cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 make extract make patch cd work patch -p0 ~/ports/thttpd.diff vi php-5.2.6/configure # and other checks to see if the patch worked cd .. make install This results in an error in the configure file, which has reverted to the original. What am I doing wrong?

What am I doing wrong? Never modify configure scripts. You need to modify the autoconf template the configure script is built off of. In the case of lang/php5, autoconf is run to build the configure script during the make configure stage (which is being executed during part of make install). Note the USE_AUTOTOOLS line in the Makefile. Make your changes to configure.in. -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

Re: Patching php port
Thanks for your reply, Jeremy. I now understand why it didn't work, but I have absolutely no idea how to edit configure.in. I have only just figured out what my patch is doing today. I think it would be easier to tell the makefile to modify configure after the autoconf, but I don't know how to do that either. This is the patch I wish to apply: diff -pruN php-5.2.6/configure php-5.2.6-thttpd225b/configure --- php-5.2.6/configure 2007-11-08 23:36:28.0 +0800 +++ php-5.2.6-thttpd225b/configure 2007-12-06 13:10:13.0 +0800 @@ -11525,10 +11525,14 @@ if test $PHP_THTTPD != no; then patch=test -f $THTTPD/php_patched || \ (cd $THTTPD patch -p1 $abs_srcdir/sapi/thttpd/thttpd_patch touch php_patched) + elif grep thttpd.2.25b $PHP_THTTPD/version.h /dev/null; then + patch=test -f $THTTPD/php_patched || \ + (cd $THTTPD patch -p1 $abs_srcdir/sapi/thttpd/thttpd-2.25b_patch touch php_patched) + elif grep Premium $PHP_THTTPD/version.h /dev/null; then patch= else - { echo configure: error: This version only supports thttpd-2.21b and Premium thttpd 12; exit 1; } + { echo configure: error: This version only supports thttpd-2.21b, thttpd-2.25b and Premium thttpd 12; exit 1; } fi Ideally I would like to do this myself but I think the learning curve is too steep right now. Any suggestions appreciated.

This is the patch I wish to apply: Welcome to the pains of the GNU autotools! Here's what you'll need: http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/index.html You should be able to examine the configure.in file and reverse engineer how to accomplish what you need. Remember: it's just a mix of sh, m4, and macros. Don't let it diminish your morale. :-) -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

Patching a port
Hi, I'm having some trouble with the www/sarg port. The writer has sent me a couple of .patch files to apply and I'm wondering if there's some way to apply those patches and still use the ports system to build install the port. I know the source code installs stuff in places that aren't the standard FBSD locations - I assume they are the norm for Linux. The port fixes that and puts stuff where we expect it to be. It would make life easier if I could apply the patches and then build the port in the normal way so everything ends up in the same place I won't have stuff left over when I update next time.

Problems patching kdevelop port
Hi All, I am trying to build kdevelop via ports on FreeBSD 4.8 When I try and run 'make', it asks for 'File to patch' I have tried typing in kdevelop-2.1.5, kdevelop, patch-af (see below). I thought this was meant to be automatic? The same happens when I try and build 'gimp' (in that it asks for 'File to patch). I am logged in as root. Sample build run:- - pluto[9:20am]/usr/ports/devel/kdevelop-105# make === Patching for kdevelop-2.1.5 === Applying FreeBSD patches for kdevelop-2.1.5 File to patch: patch-af 1 out of 1 hunks failed--saving rejects to patch-af.rej Patch patch-af failed to apply cleanly. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/kdevelop. pluto[9:20am]/usr/ports/devel/kdevelop-106# ls files/ patch-afpatch-af.rejpatch-processesend.pl patch-af.orig patch-az - ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
