Hi Ryan, Thanks you for your quick reply.
What prompted you to make these changes to the portfile? Did you encounter error messages? What were they, and what were you doing when they occurred?
Sorry, I forgot to mention this. Without this patch, I couldn't install php5 -macosx +apache with the following errors. checking for crypt in -lcrypt... no configure: error: This c-client library is built with Kerberos support. Add --with-kerberos to your configure line. Check config.log for details. Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
The documentation on the php web site to which you refer says "To build the c-client library with SSL or/and Kerberos support read the docs supplied with the package" and "Depending how the c-client was configured, you might also need to add --with-imap-ssl=/path/to/ openssl/ and/or --with-kerberos=/path/to/kerberos into the PHP configure line."
Could be.
I see that the cclient port does depend on kerberos5, if libgssapi_krb5 does not already exist. On my 10.4.9 system, libgssapi_krb5 already exists in /usr/lib so that gets used. Should cclient always depend on the kerberos5 port instead, or is there a compelling reason to use the Mac OS X-provided version? (Paul?)
No idea...
I don't use c-client or kerberos5 nor really even know what they do. Um... I see that c-client is for accessing mailboxes. I don't do that in my php code. Since I prefer not to have lots of ports installed whose features I don't need, I'm inclined to make a cclient variant of php5. Anyone opposed?
That'd be great. I didn't do that just because I don't know about c-client and there's some reasons that php5 port depends on this. If it works without port most people don't use, I think it preferable.
