RE: [gentoo-user] php 4.3.2 virtual/mta
I think the php eclass should have information to detect what mta is actually in use and where the proper sendmail compatible binary is and during postinstall, modify the php.ini. Or simply not have the check for /usr/sbin/sendmail. It makes sense on doing the check for /usr/sbin/sendmail as it would resolve some 'I cant send mail via php' issues. However actually trying to emerge php seems to have caused a new problem that doesn't need to be. > Well, for the record... "ln -s /usr/bin/nbsmtp > /usr/sbin/sendmail" did the job.

It doesn't. /usr/bin/sendmail is NOT the same as the Sendmail package. /usr/bin/sendmail is a generic program that is can be used from the commandline to send emails. ALL virtual/mta packages should provide it. If they don't, then they are broken. I personally know that both Sendmail and Qmail ebuilds do provide it (I have confirmed it myself I mean). If somebody could point out a virtual/mta that doesn't then we will see about getting it fixed. The check originated because of some people that had custom MTA installs, and forgot to create a symlink for /usr/bin/sendmail, and then wondered why the PHP compile was failing. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
RE: [gentoo-user] php 4.3.2 virtual/mta
Php does not require sendmail, you can use Qmail, postfix, exim or any other sendmail compatible mailer. You would then need to change the php.ini to reflect the location of the sendmail compatible binary (Qmail automaticly (or should) symlinks /var/qmail/bin/sendmail to /usr/lib/sendmail). You can also configure PHP to use SMTP as its mailer. Even though the php.ini file says that is a win32 setting, it does work in Linux. That said, a look in eclass/php.eclass we find [ -x "/usr/sbin/sendmail" ] || die "You need a virtual/mta that provides /usr/sbin/sendmail!" Perhaps the issues are not php related but a problem with the MTA ebuild we are using.

For the mail functionality of php (and many other applications) sendmail is needed indeed. If you don't care about mail capability in php you could use --nodeps to have php build anyway. Paul ps.
