I successfully compiled and installed 1.4.17 in osx yosemite /usr/local. After redirecting the installer to this version of m4/gm4 I made successful compilation if the php extension in OSX yosemite.
The development/production platform and I think unspoken/intended platform for the extension I compiled is ubuntu 14.04LTS. The use of option -gnu is not possible in GNU M4 1.4.6 (The version OS X Yosemite uses). Thank you. On 01/04/2015 15:18, "Richard Sinclair" <[email protected]> wrote: >The version is GNU M4 1.4.6.
