Hello, and thank you very much for your reply.
Yes. After looking closely at the variable, I discovered that also.
So I used the PREFIX=/usr/local/php5. But as I build it (via
php5-extensions)
I am not seeing the PREFIX variable reflected. Shouldn't I be using:
make -DPREFIX=/usr/local/php5? Or simply hack the Makefile?
If you're trying to force the install of php5 by installing
php5-extensions, that's not going to work. Php5 will be built with
the default ${LOCALBASE} instead.
There are several ways to work around the problem. You can build
php5 first, with the altered PREFIX, then build php5-extensions with
the altered PREFIX. You can set the PREFIX for php5 and
php5-extensions in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf (see the extensive
notes in the file or read man (5) pkgtools.conf).
You can edit the Makefiles for the affected ports, but changing
PREFIX in a Makefile is tricky, so testing carefully is required.
Furthermore, the Makefiles will be overwritten every time the port is
updated, so it's really not the best way to do things.
You can even edit /etc/make.conf, but that changes the parameters for
all ports.
If you plan on doing this often, pkgtools.conf is your best bet. If
you plan on doing it once, commandline is probably the easiest and
quickest.
If you choose to use pkgtools.conf, you'd probably want something like this:
MAKE_ARGS = {
'lang/php5*' => 'PREFIX=/usr/local/php5',
}
Hello. Let me preface the following by first thanking you for your indulgence,
and taking the time to share your insight. :)
That said, as you already knew - php5 installed quite as intended. But the
extensions are "squealing like pigs" in my error log -
Unable to load dynamic library...
So I'm just going to uninstall the whole works, and start with PHP5, then
the extensions.
As per setting things up by editing the Makefile v using the /etc/make.conf;
I had considered saving the altered variables from the Makefile and using
USE_SUBMAKE, which would allow me to "suck" the changes into make. But then
wondered how I might continue using my usual conditionals in /etc/make.conf;
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/lang/php5}
WITH_THIS=TRUS
WITHOUT_THAT=TRUE
...
.endif
But hadn't experimented much beyond that, except a couple of others...
X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg, WITH_GECKO=seamonkey,CPUTYPE?=pentium(N), etc.
You mention that it'll change the parameters for all ports. But I was
thinking that if used in an if.. then conditional I might be able to
limit it's scope.
Well, you've (kindly) given me some more studying to do. As I'm
getting a bit weary of this whole thing. I'm going to end it here, and
get on with it.
Thank you again for all your time and consideration.
