Hello Mitch! > What's the current status of OS X support? I understand that 4.3 will be the > first release to "officially" support OS X but how much of the work is > complete in current CVS?
PHP 4.3 has had a large number of strides made towards Darwin support. Marko was able to get things like the build system to work on it for APXS builds. He and I then were able to implement a native dl() system for Darwin. There is slow work being done to continue to support Darwin, but don't expect it too fast. So far Marko is working on it more than I am, and I'm only working on it as things pop-up that annoy me (like ODBC). > I grabbed the latest yesterday and compiled it -- still had my issues > creating files and directories (Where I would get permission denied errors > even though the perms were 777 and the entire directory was owned by the > webserver user/group).. I ran into this problem using Smarty and evidently a > lot of people have had it with 4.2..

I have libmcrypt 2.5.0 installed, which appears to be > the latest available... Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Smarty so I can't comment on what that is. But if you're having bugs with creating files and directories, you might do well to submit a bug on these things. I haven't tested this stuff in a few days/weeks, but at last check I didn't have any problems with it. As far as mcrypt is concerned, I've not delt with it. So any comments I make on it would be guessing at best. From the sound of message though, it sounds like the DLYD system can't find the bundle. Try setting the DLYD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the path to your mycrpt installation, and see if that works. Remember to do this for the user the webserver is running as not yourself (unless you're running a CGI/CLI version). If this works, let us know so we can remove this problem before 4.3 goes to RC. > I would roll back to 4.1 but I can't get it to compile on this box and the > only OSX build I've found doesn't have working mcrypt support and I kind of > have to have it :-) If you wish to rollback to 4.1 you can find some nice hackish directions from the people at entropy.ch (URL in the documentation for building on MacOSX). >---------------------------------------------------------------< Dan Kalowsky "The record shows, I took the blows. http://www.deadmime.org/~dank And did it my way."
