My setup: Mac Mini, 10.4.11, Xcode 2.5, GCC 4, MacPorts 1.7
Everything compiles fine, there are some complaints about
signedness from the compiler, but it all looks ok. But when I run
the PHP test suite, over 70 tests fail, including ones I wouldn't
really expect, like on the function easterdate(). I can not find
any hints anywhere on what might be happening, so I'm wondering if
these tests really are that important. Should a completely default,
standard, stock install of php5 with MacPorts pass all the PHP self
tests fine?
The thing is, when I set up everything myself (not using MacPorts
to compile php5) the same set of tests failed - the config of php5
did reference various macport installed libraries, etc. I am now
at the point where I am wondering if I ought to toss all of
MacPorts and try to install everything myself that is needed to
compile php5.
So any advice, pointers on where to look, or hints on 64 bit vs 32
would be greatly appreciated
Hi. I'm the maintainer of php5 in MacPorts.
On the few occasions when I have tried "port test php5", it did not
pass everything either. Please feel free to enter into a dialog about
this with the developers of PHP. I have not had the energy to do so
myself. They're often quite rude in responding to bug reports and I
haven't felt like being abused lately.
I recommend you use MacPorts for all your software installation
needs, including PHP. You could build it all yourself, but it would
be a lot of work figuring out things that we have already figured out
in MacPorts. If the software available in MacPorts doesn't fully meet
your needs, please bring it to our attention so that we can improve
the ports until they do meet your needs.
I have not attempted to compile php5 as a universal binary or 64-bit.
I would not be surprised if it did not work. If you try it and it
works, or if you can figure out how to make it work, please let us know.
