The entropy.ch site has a brief mention of building php 4.2.x way down at the bottom of the page:
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/#build As far as what I did, I've gotten in the habit of writing shell scripts with the configuration command and comments listing all the steps I took. So here is what I have for php 4.1.2. I originally had more steps in here to deal with compiling in openbase support, which required the buildconf step and automake. Caveat lector: This worked for me, with php 4.1.2 and osx 10.1.3. I'm not an expert at this and can't guarantee that it won't just waste your time... <script> #! /bin/tcsh # # config.args_I_used # # pre 1. installed automake-1.4 from gnu (configure, make, make check, make install) # (I wouldn't think you'd need this unless you need to run the buildconf step) # pre 2. fetch libtool-1.3.5 patch from fink # (http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/porting/libtool.php, also a good, informative read) # pre 3. installed libtool-1.3.5 from gnu (apply patch, configure, make, make check, make install) # # 1. unpack both php 4.0.6 and 4.1.2 source into separate directories # a. copy this config script into both source directories # # 2. cd 4.0.6 # a. ./buildconf (you probably don't need this step) # b. run this configure script (tcsh config.php.4.1.2-osx-generic) # # 3. cd 4.1.2 # a. copy configure, ltconfig, ltmain.sh from 4.0.6 source directory # b. run this configure script # c. copy libtool from 4.0.6 # # 4. in libtool verify existence of '-flat_namespace' after the $CC in the 'archive_cmds=' line # 5. make, make install setenv LDFLAGS '-flat_namespace' ./configure \ --with-xml \ --with-zlib \ --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs \ --enable-trans-sid \ --enable-shared \ --with-mysql=/usr/local \ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local \ --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local \ --with-tiff-dir=/usr/local \ --with-png-dir=/usr/local \ --with-ldap=/usr/local </script> -Steve On Tuesday, July 23, 2002, at 07:36 AM, Frank Bitterlich wrote: > Steve, > > I first tried the instruction in php.net's "INSTALL" document, and then > the one from the book "Professional PHP4", which is specific to OS X. > > I've looked at the hints on developer.apple.com, but they're somewhat > outdated (for PHP 4.0.6), they tell me to modify a "ltconfig" file, but > I have no such beast.
