@dreamcat4: Thanks for doing all the research and actual thinking in this matter!
Making autoconf2.13 an explicit build dependency (instead of merely autoconf) does make php5 build nicely. I generated new source packages with this change, and built it without any trouble inside a pbuilder chroot. The potential side effect is of course that someone unknowingly doing an "apt-get build-dep php5" might later on experience some unexpected autoconf issues. ** Changed in: php5 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- karmic: Compiling php fails with autoconf 2.64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to php5 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
