only three options on install?

[dingleberry]

Okay, I've been wrestling with this for about a week now and am pulling my hair out. I recently upgraded by bsd server to 5.3. I installed apapche1.3 and mysql-server 4. I'm trying to compile php to use mysql but when I go to /usr/ports/

http://www/mod_php4

and do a make it only gives me three options (where before it gave me like 14 like pdflib, mysql, mcal, etc) Now it only gives me three (one for apache2, one for enable debug, and one for ipv6) I think i'm the only person on earth with this problem because I can't find a solution anywhere! Has anyone experienced this?

All pointers appreciated,

What options are you passing to the configure script?

Hello Sleipnir214,

Thank you very much for your response. Because it's a port in FreeBSD, (or it's likely I'm using the wrong syntax) I can't pass any options. I go to /usr/ports/

http://www/mod_php4

and simply type in make install clean. I've tried doing a make --with-mysql=/usr (by the way, I'm not sure what path it really wants) but when I do that I get an error that tells me some usage syntax. So I'm stuck doing a simple make. After I do a make, I get a "work" folder in there where I can go into and do a ./configure --with-mysql but for some reason it never works. I know it's a combination of things but probably I'm just typing something in wrong.

You don't pass the options to make. The source tarball comes with a script called "configure". It is to that script that you would pass the configuration options.

Have you looked in the PHP online manual for information?

Of course, I've only compiled PHP on a Linux box. There may be vaguaries of BSD with which I am not familiar.
