ID: 50291 Comment by: mail at crick dot ru Reported by: vapier at gentoo dot org Summary: incorrect usage of autoconf diversions Status: Re-Opened Type: Bug Package: Compile Failure Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This annoying bug is still there. How about solutions? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-10 19:58:16] scott...@php.net This got lost when we re-branched trunk from 5_3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-23 08:49:47] ras...@php.net This fix is only in HEAD. You need autoconf <2.60 for 5.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-23 08:13:13] ram...@php.net I'm having this problem with a fresh checkout (revision 293858) from the PHP_5_3 branch. I running on Mac OS X 10.6.2 and have autoconf 2.65 from macports. $ ./buildconf $ ./configure cat: confdefs.h: No such file or directory ./configure: line 389: ac_fn_c_try_run: command not found ./configure: line 405: 5: Bad file descriptor ./configure: line 406: 6: Bad file descriptor cat: confdefs.h: No such file or directory ./configure: line 445: ac_fn_c_try_run: command not found .......... I'm not having the problem when running configure on the 5.3.1 tar package. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-25 01:37:52] ras...@php.net Thanks, this motivated me to clean up our m4 crap and make it work with the latest versions of autoconf. Should still clean up the template warnings eventually, but those are non-fatal and everything builds nicely now with autoconf-2.65 for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-11-25 00:01:36] vapier at gentoo dot org Description: ------------ autoconf-2.64+ has changed behavior with diversions in such a way that php breaks. the autoconf documentation has explained that using these functions with any diversion not explicitly documented is subject to breakage, and php is doing just that. http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Diversion-support you can also review the discussion on the autoconf lists: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2009-11/msg00045.html Reproduce code: --------------- the code can either be changed to stop using divert() completely (since it doesnt seem to accomplish anything), or increase the numbers used to something higher than 1000. Actual result: -------------- after regenerating autotools, we see: $ ./configure cat: confdefs.h: No such file or directory ./configure: line 410: ac_fn_c_try_run: command not found ./configure: line 426: 5: Bad file descriptor ./configure: line 427: 6: Bad file descriptor cat: confdefs.h: No such file or directory ./configure: line 466: ac_fn_c_try_run: command not found cat: confdefs.h: No such file or directory ........ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50291&edit=1
