I've spent several days exploiting bugs in PHP4 build environment.
There are many little problems there but I've found biggest one:
for self contained extensions any check for PHP_ARG_WITH resulted
in 'yes' even if such check failed due absence of additional library
needed to compile.
This code snippet from configure for IMAP module shows problem:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
echo $ac_n "checking for Kerberos support in IMAP""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:980: checking for Kerberos support in IMAP" >&5
# Check whether --with-kerberos or --without-kerberos was given.
if test "${with_kerberos+set}" = set; then
withval="$with_kerberos"
PHP_KERBEROS=$withval
else
PHP_KERBEROS=no
fi
[..... skipped .....]
if test "$php_always_shared" = "yes"; then
ext_output="yes, shared"
ext_shared=yes
test "$PHP_KERBEROS" = "no" && PHP_KERBEROS=yes
fi
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, even if I have no kerberos libraries on the system, PHP_KERBEROS
will be defined to 'yes' resulting in errors in module creation.
There are bunch of modules which rely on such multiple PHP_ARG_WITH
in config.m4.
Even more worse situation is in the Readline extension:
(config.m4 from ext/readline)
PHP_ARG_WITH(libedit,for libedit readline replacement,
[ --with-libedit[=DIR] Include libedit readline replacement.])
PHP_ARG_WITH(readline,for readline support,
[ --with-readline[=DIR] Include readline support. DIR is the readline
install directory.])
So after phpize and configure calls both HAVE_LIBEDIT and HAVE_READLINE
will be defined to 1 resulting in errors in code.
