Hi,
I have just a couple of questions and then I think I
am good for the go.
1. You said that the mod_php make process will prompt
me whether to use mysql or not. I have never seen an
"interactive" make process. Is that what you mean to
say?
2. The makefile for mod_php4 has the following
variable set:
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-apxs=${APXS} \
--enable-versioning \
--with-system-regex \
--with-config-file-path=${PREFIX}/etc
\
--disable-debug \
--enable-track-vars \
--without-gd \
--disable-pear \
--without-mysql
Instead of waiting for that interactive thing, could I
just change the "--without-mysql" to something like
"--with-mysql"(or whatever the specific wording needs
to be to get it to talk to mysql)? And if so, and you
know that wording, what is it. You can save me some
time of digging around to find it out :).
3. Also in the mod_php4 makefile the following
variable is set:
BUILD_DEPENDS=
${LOCALBASE}/sbin/apxs:${PORTSDIR}/www/apache13
and in the bsd.ports.mk file, BUILD_DEPENDS is defined
as:
A list of "path:dir[:target]" tuples of other ports
this package depends to run.
I am having trouble understanding this definition. It
seems to say that for a given port, that the "current"
port you wish to intall depends on, an entry in the
BUILD_DEPENDS variable needs to exist and needs to be
in the form path:dir[:target]. For simplicity of this
discusion let's disgard the optional "tartget" field.
So we are left with "path:dir" for a port that the
"current" port depends on. What does this mean and how
is just the "path" not sufficient to describe the port
depended on? And also, for this variable as used in
the mod_php4 makefile, it seems as if for the "path"
portion it has the path to the apxs program, and for
the "dir" portion it has the path to the apache13
port. Sort of like apples and oranges according to the
definition of the BUILD_DEPENDS variable. In other
words doesn't each "path:dir" pair need to refer to
the same port(not that I undersatnd how path:dir
points to a specific port, which is one of my
questions above).
Thanks for the help,
Wayne
