I yesterday constructed the php 4.3.2 rpm package from the source, and that took me much longer than expected.
I used the following configure string:
./configure --enable-force-cgi-redirect --enable-calendar --with-ldap=/usr/local/openldap --with-mysql --with-unixODBC=/usr/lib/unixODBC --with-readline
nothing particularly exeptional, hough?
but when it came to make, the compiler/loader team played two jokes with me
first i got into a loop of configure-make-make-install, where the loader at the end complained that he had been unable to find such and such library archive (*.la).
after creating about 10 library archives manually and re-initalizing the configure-make-make-install loop every time i got into the second joke:
the loader started complaining about missing header libraries (-lpam, -ldes, -lyounameit). i installed the header libraries one by one, each of them took an extra go-through through the conigure-make-make-install loop.
finally i made it all the same and now i have the rpm package. you may retrieve it from http://www.ayni.com/archive/ if you like.
My question:
is there any possibility to get the list of necessary library archives (*.la) and header files (*.h) before you start the configure-make-make-install loop?
Any information is much appreciated. Thank you very much.
