Bug 2106 – Incorrect use 'use' in PHP ?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Xavier 2002-04-25 17:04:19 UTC]

How I can compile PHP --with-gettext with this only use nls line in ebuild ?

use nls || myconf="${myconf} --without-gettext"

It's this correct ? I don't see any reference to --with-gettext in the latest 
PHP ebuild.

[Comment 1 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2002-04-25 17:45:11 UTC]

yes, it is correct.  gettext is enabled by default

[Comment 2 Xavier 2002-04-25 18:00:44 UTC]

Excuse me but I don't see a --with-gettext in a my php info page that shows 
the Configure Command used to compile PHP.

This is and extract of the PHP web site :

Following is a brief overview of how to use gettext with a PHP script:
1. Get and install a copy of gettext. (See http://www.gnu.org/ for more 
details.)
2. Make sure PHP is built with gettext support (i.e., with --with-gettext on 
the ./configure command line).


I don't see any reference to --with-gettext in the ebuild.

More info (from configure file in PHP package):

echo $ac_n "checking whether to include GNU gettext support""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:22726: checking whether to include GNU gettext support" >&5
# Check whether --with-gettext or --without-gettext was given.
if test "${with_gettext+set}" = set; then
  withval="$with_gettext"
  PHP_GETTEXT=$withval
else
  PHP_GETTEXT=no
fi

Using the following patch to upgrade php-4.1.2-r7.ebuild to -r8.ebuild.

./configure --with-gettext from the commandline within
/var/tmp/portage/php-blah/work everything works fine. However, with an emerge
php the configure errors out stating it couldn't find the gettext libraries.

ideas?

[Comment 7 Xavier 2002-04-26 05:15:46 UTC]

mine it's at /usr/share/gettext/gettext.h

[Comment 8 Xavier 2002-04-26 05:26:57 UTC]

With the Ryan Phillips -r8 patch I can emerge php perfectly without any errors 
and php info shows the --with-gettext option.

[Comment 9 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) 2002-04-26 16:07:17 UTC]

This is interesting... what version of portage are you using Xavier?
I'll try upgrading portage and retry my fix, since the emerge php fails on my 
computer currently.

[Comment 10 Xavier 2002-04-26 17:51:08 UTC]

I'm using portage 1.9.3
Where your php emerge fail ?
I'm using nls, ssl, imap and postgresql (among others) in my settings

Committed the update.  Hopefully it doesn't break.
