There are portions of ports/Mk/bsd.php.mk (anything relating to PHP's extension support, executed via phpize) which explicitly requests old and outdated autoconf (v2.53) and automake (v1.5). Additionally, lang/php5/files/patch-scripts::phpize.in also relies specifically on aclocal15 and autoconf253. I changed the appropriate files to reflect aclocal19 and autoconf259, ditto with WANT_AUTOMAKE_VER=19 and WANT_AUTOCONF_VER=259, and numerous PHP extensions I tried built without any problems. I did this on both 5.3-STABLE and 4.11-STABLE. I assume some of the extensions don't work properly with older versions, but for those extensions, could one not override WANT_AUTOMAKE_VER and WANT_AUTOCONF_VER in lang/php5/Makefile.ext in the appropriate .ifdef section? Basically, I'm just trying to get rid of different versions of autoconf and automake on our systems, even though FreeBSD has done a beautiful job of segregating each version. >How-To-Repeat: n/a >Fix: Should be obvious. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
