apparent change in php4 port build procedure...

2004-12-21 Thread Bruce Campbell 

I'm upgrading to mod_php4-4.3.10

In the past, the make procedure presented me with a detailed
menu of options.  Now, it appears to just ask me these questions 3:

 - apache 1 vs 2
 - debug
 - ipv6

and not all the other stuff like mysql, imap, and so forth.

I can easily add the configure args I want to /usr/ports/lang/php4/Makefile, 
like
this:

--with-mysql=/usr/local \
--with-layout=GNU \
--with-config-file-scan-dir=${PREFIX}/etc/php \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr \
--with-regex=php \
--enable-ftp \

But I liked the old menu system, as it saved me figuring out
the configure args.  Was there a reason to move away from that,
or is there a new mechanism I am not aware of ?

Thanks,

There's a new mechanism you are not aware of.  Read /usr/ports/UPDATING 
(the php section).  You now install php (the base) and php-extensions.  The 
menu is now with extensions.  You can do a make config if you want to make 
changes to it.

Make sure you read UPDATING.  There's a gotcha in there having to do with 
the extensions_dir variable in the php.ini file.

from /usr/ports/UPDATING:
20040719:
AFFECTS: users of PHP
AUTHOR: ale at FreeBSD.org 

The old lang/php4 and lang/php5 ports have been split
into 'base' PHP, PEAR, and shared extensions to allow 
more flexibility and add new features.
Upgrading your current PHP installation will result in a 
'base' PHP installation (no PEAR and no extensions).
PEAR can be found in the new devel/php4-pear and 
devel/php5-pear ports, while the set of PHP extensions 
to install can be choosen via the meta-ports 
lang/php4-extensions and lang/php5-extensions, or installing 
singular extensions individually.

The syntax may not be verbatim, as I pulled the snippet
from another posting, but there lies your answer ;)
