[PHP] PHP5 on IBM PowerPC; good combination?
My company is considering the purchase of a fairly nice IBM PowerPC system, running SuSe Linux (presumably version 9.2 by the time we get it). This will be replacing our aging Compaq as our main server for our mission-critical apps. Does anyone here have experience compiling PHP 5.x on a Linux-based PowerPC architecture? My primary concern is that it actually compiles without trouble; all we have here now are x86 systems, so we can't test this combination! -- Aaron Gould Parts Canada - Web Developer -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

yes, use debian: http://www.debian.org and study the apt system you'll get no problem. (php 5 is not in sarge which is what you should use but compiling php5 on it gives no problem.) and debian supports very well ppc...

Re: [PHP] PHP5 on IBM PowerPC; good combination?
Just so we are all clear. It doesn't matter which linux distribution you use as long as the distribution supports the ppc architecture which most do. As long as you have the gnu compiler suite and all associated tools and libraries, php will compile fine. It will also compile using the ibm compilers but it takes a bit of wrangling to get it to compile. -Brent - Original Message - From: Pierre Ancelot [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 8:09 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP5 on IBM PowerPC; good combination? yes, use debian: http://www.debian.org and study the apt system you'll get no problem.

Yes and welcome troubles with rpm when you use suse or redhat... that's why i preconise debian, not have troubles this wise, when you need a lib On Wednesday 27 October 2004 15:15, Brent Clements wrote: Just so we are all clear.

I have no experience with SUSE (just RedHat and Gentoo), but I'd imagine it has all the requisite GNU compilation tools.

Unfortunately we're stuck with SUSE (pre-installed with the IBM OpenPower series servers). My company wants to stick with it. I won't complain too much though; as long as it's linux, I'm ok. -- Aaron Gould Parts Canada - Web Developer -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] PHP5 on IBM PowerPC; good combination?
This has nothing to do with packaging systems or your choice of distribution. His question was if it compiled on a linux-based ppc architecture. I answered his question. You told him to use a specific distribution with a specific packaging system. That was not his question. -Brent - Original Message - From: Pierre Ancelot [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 8:40 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP5 on IBM PowerPC; good combination?
