php 4.3.6 has a bug in installation. it uses php-sapi.eclass, which has this bug: on the moment it checks for java version >= 1.4, it doesnt consider java 1.5! i changed the code and now it checks ok. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. first, emerge java 1.5 2. then, emerge php 4.3.6 Actual Results: you get the error saying you dont have java version >= 1.4 Expected Results: check that i have java 1.5 and it is, indeed, >= 1.4 :) i have done the following modification to the php-sapi.eclass file, around line 209: if [ -n "${JDKVER/1.4.*}" -o -z "${JDKVER}" ]; then einfo "Checking for Java 1.5 .." if [ -n "${JDKVER/1.5.*}" -o -z "${JDKVER}" ]; then eerror "Please ensure that you have a JDK with a version of at least" eerror "1.4 selected using java-config" die fi fi
does PHP even work correctly with Java1.5 ? I mean function correctly, not just compile.
well, right now i dont think it works with java 1.5... there are some other minor drawbacks with java 1.5 that may cause errors with php 4.3.6, but then it is a problem to be solved somewhere else (and with php 5 these problems might be gone). the main problem here is that "checking for java version >= 1.4" doesnt check 1.5, which IS >= 1.4. so the message should be fixed to "checking for java version 1.4.x" or the following: einfo "Checking for Java 1.5 .. (warning: 1.5 STILL BETA! use at your own risk!)" i.e. putting a warning message around the line that checks for java version 1.5 right after the code the checks for java 1.4. sorry for any errors i might have done in this message, i dont speak english very well :) all in all, thanks!!! GENTOO ROCKS!!!
fixed in cvs.
