Back on this again. I see that there was a REQ from 2004, to not use the -a option to apxs when INSTALL_ROOT is set.
That would fix my problem. I tried modifying two files: (changes below) sapi/apache2handler/config.m4 Makefile.global and then running ./configure again The changes in Makefile.global showed up in the new Makefile, but not the changes in the .m4 file. Would appreciate assistence to get this to work as expected. --- Makefile.global.distr 2012-12-19 16:13:48 +0100 +++ Makefile.global 2012-12-27 16:24:19 +0100 @@ -33,6 +33,11 @@ fi; \ done; \ fi + if [ -z $(strip $(INSTALL_ROOT)) ]; then \ + APXS_ACTIVATE="-a" ; \ + else \ + APXS_ACTIVATE="" ; \ + fi @$(INSTALL_IT) install-modules: build-modules --- sapi/apache2handler/config.m4. distr 2012-12-19 16:13:48.000000000 +0100 +++ sapi/apache2handler/config.m4 2012-12-27 16:23:10.000000000 +0100 @@ -77,7 +77,7 @@ \$(mkinstalldirs) '$APXS_SYSCONFDIR' && \ $APXS -S LIBEXECDIR='$APXS_LIBEXECDIR' \ -S SYSCONFDIR='$APXS_SYSCONFDIR' \ - -i -a -n php5" + -i \$APXS_ACTIVATE -n php5" fi case $host_alias in On Sat, Sep 29, 2012 at 8:03 PM, Michael Felt <mamf...@gmail.com> wrote: > When using make INSTALL_ROOT=/var/tmp/root/php-5.3.17.0 install > I get an error about httpd.conf not being in place for apxs (if I copy it > ahead of time, apxs works fine) > > Isnt this to be expected - that httpd.conf is not avalibale, and apxs > should just "fail" gently, leaving a warning > but continuing? > > Not sure how to interpret this: what in install asking for, warning about? > > Installing PEAR environment: /var/tmp/root/php-5.3.17.0/opt/php/bin/ > [PEAR] Archive_Tar - installed: 1.3.7 > [PEAR] Console_Getopt - installed: 1.3.0 > [PEAR] Structures_Graph- installed: 1.0.4 > [PEAR] XML_Util - installed: 1.2.1 > warning: pear/PEAR requires package "pear/Archive_Tar" (version >= 1.3.7) > warning: pear/PEAR requires package "pear/Structures_Graph" (recommended > version 1.0.4) > warning: pear/PEAR requires package "pear/Console_Getopt" (recommended > version 1.2.3) > warning: pear/PEAR requires package "pear/XML_Util" (recommended version > 1.2.1) > [PEAR] PEAR - installed: 1.9.4 > Wrote PEAR system config file at: > /var/tmp/root/php-5.3.17.0//var/php/etc/pear.conf > You may want to add: /opt/php/bin to your php.ini include_path > /data/prj/php/php-5.3.17/build/shtool install -c ext/phar/phar.phar > /var/tmp/root/php-5.3.17.0/opt/bin > ln -s -f /opt/bin/phar.phar /var/tmp/root/php-5.3.17.0/opt/bin/phar > Installing PDO headers: > /var/tmp/root/php-5.3.17.0/opt/include/php/ext/pdo/ > > And, why it install already mentioning/touching (in this case /opt/* when > all should be in $INSTALL_ROOT? > > Suggestions welcome, even if it just "what to say" in a bug report. > > Michael >
