There's a reason ports use CONFLICTS: the ports are conflicting. I don't know why people advise using prefixes on conflicting ports - it's not a good thing. Actually, it's a bad thing. A really bad thing. This is what jails are for. If the maintainer of the php ports would support having both 4 and 5 installed, he could do it by renaming the CLI binary to php4 and php5 respectively and in the process break many other ports depending on the fact that the cli is called 'php' and more importantly that the pecl-* ports depend on phpize giving them the right information. In short: you'll create a mess. Here's what you do: * Add an IP alias to your network card * Find some free space on the disk * read the instructions in jail(8) * and install php5 (or php4) in the jail. Now you'll have cleanly seperated php installations and no more prefixing, worries about dependencies etc etc. Costs: 400-500M extra diskspace and an alias IP, 2-3 hours of work including the build of dependencies. Gains: too many to mention. -- Mel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Multiple versions of PHP
Okay, I got it installed, but I had to make temporary changes to
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.php.mk. My first idea was to build with:
make PREFIX=/usr/local/php5 LOCALBASE=/usr/local/php5
but that didn't work because other things expect LOCALBASE to be
/usr/local (or rather, expect that whatever LOCALBASE is set to will
contain various other supporting build utilities).
It would be nice if bsd.php.mk used ${LOCALPHPBASE} which would by
default be set to ${LOCALBASE}. This would allow for multiple
installations of PHP in different locations.

Re: Multiple versions of PHP
I've got a new problem... While I was able to install PHP 5 into a separate location than PHP 4 (both from ports), I'm now trying to add a PHP 5 extension (/usr/ports/graphics/php5-gd). The built-in version checking is saying: ===> php5-gd-5.2.5 cannot install: doesn't work with PHP version : 4 (Doesn't support PHP 4). *** Error code 1 ... which would be an issue if my PREFIX was the same, but it's not. Is there a way I can trick the ports system into thinking I don't have PHP 4 installed? Patrick On Tue, Apr 3, 2007 at 8:36 AM, patrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks, that worked really well.

For those searching the archive for an easy answer, you just need to do: make PREFIX=/path/to/where/you/want all install clean Hmm, what happens if two ports would be in conflict, unless installed into separate directories? In other words, how these installed ports will be recorded in the package database? I do not see an answer for this in "man 7 ports".
