problems compiling php5

128kb_com

I'm having problems compiling php5. At the end of the compile when libtool links every .lo's together and tries to mkdir .libs to put them in, it tries to make /.libs and gets a permission denied cause /.libs is the root dir. I'm assuming its a problem with either libtool itself or the way it plays with aclocal, autoconf and automake (if it even uses all those). I'm using a fresh compile of libtool-1.4.3 (which is required for php5).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this or can anyone point me to some good URL's on the the topic??

I must say that you're braver than I am. I wouldn't download v5 so early on in development.

Yeah but its all for fun and games, I don't have it on any my servers - just for use on my personal box on the CLI. The new oo features are gonna move PHP right into the foreground, all we need next is script-cacheing and a php compiler...

Let us know how it goes

It compiled fine on my SuSE linux 8.1 box at work with just a basic compile for the CLI SAPI and works well. You'll first have to compile and install libtool 1.4.3 or else you wont even get past the ./buildconf. But it works well. Though I haven't tested it thoughoghly enough, or with apache, so far I haven't seen any bugs. I'm also in the midst of compiling the same build on my OSX 10.2.3 box. I installed libtool 1.4.3 via fink's unstable tree and the compile goes well except for some changes in the the way host lookups are done in the new version of $PHPBUILD_DIR/ext/standard/dns.c.

But some of the new OO features are really tight, including public and private class function modifiers, static class vars and the abiltiy to de-reference multiple class method calls like $class->method1()->method2()->method3(); and now all classes are passed by reference by default, to name a few.
