In an attempt to do some testing of 5.3 I have being trying to compile it on my Mac (MacOSX1
0.5)
with the same configure line[1] as I use for my 'current' version (5.2.6), this is turning
out to be impossible because (so far) of a missing file ext/iconv/php_have_ibm_iconv.h

the configure line I want to use is as follows (note that it specifies '--without-iconv'):

'./configure'  '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--sysconfdir=/private/etc' '--prefix=/usr/loc
al/php5.3alpha2' 
'--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--with-xsl=/usr' '--with-tidy=/opt/lo
cal' '--enable-mbstring' '--with-gd' 
'--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-jpeg-dir=/opt/local' '--with-png-dir=/opt/local' '--with-zl
ib-dir' '--enable-sockets' 
'--enable-exif' '--with-mcrypt=/opt/local' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' '--with-mysql-soc
k=/private/tmp/mysql.sock' 
'--with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config' '--with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mys
ql_config' 
'--with-freetype-dir=/opt/local' '--with-xpm-dir=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/X11' '--
with-ldap' '--with-xmlrpc' 
'--enable-soap' '--enable-sqlite-utf8' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-sockets' '--with-bz2' '--ena
ble-zip' '--enable-pcntl' 
'--enable-shmop' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-sysvmsg' '--enable-bcmath' 
'--with-gettext=/opt/local' 
'--with-curl' '--with-mcrypt=/opt/local' '--with-interbase=/opt' '--without-iconv' '--enable
-cli' '--with-sqlite'

the error message from make is:

In file included from /Users/jochem/src/php-5.3.0alpha2/ext/standard/info.c:47:
/Users/jochem/src/php-5.3.0alpha2/ext/iconv/php_iconv.h:42:42: error: ext/iconv/php_have_ibm
_iconv.h: No such file or directory



I have (just now) been able to build a very minimal install of 5.3 using the following confi
gure line, which does give
me enough to be able to test some stuff related to namespaces/LSB/etc:

'./configure'  '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php5.3alpha2' '--sysconfdir=/private/etc'
 '--prefix=/usr/local/php5.3alpha2' 
'--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--disable-all' '--enable-cli'

it does seem that the file ext/iconv/php_have_ibm_iconv.h really is missing and that it shou
ld be there
(although I have no idea why iconv is referenced given the '--without-iconv' ... there is pr
obably good reason,
but it's over my head, so to speak.

rgds,
Jochem

[1]minus the apache module for now ... as I'm afraid 'make install' will
break my current install, which I really can't afford to break ... I'm no wizard but I do ne
ed to be
able to do my job :-/ ... if anyone knows of some details info on how to keep multiple insta
lls of
php around (including apache modules) and being able to switch between them with minimal fus
s then
I be very happy to learn!
