recompile php-mysql

[Eric Wagar]

I see that there is source for php4, which I would assume would be all
of php, including the mysql so.

Since the mysql portion is broken up and provided as php-mysql in Fedora
releases, how do I go about recompiling the php-mysql for use with MySQL
4/4.1?  The one included < FC4 is compiled for MySQL 3.23.  I use MySQL
4.1, so I need an updated php-mysql to properly work with the DB.

Thanks
eric

I'm looking at php-4.3.9-3.src.rpm from the FC3 distribution.  According
to the spec file, it builds all of the php-* packages.  So you wouldn't
have to worry about building php-mysql separately, you'd just have to
rebuild the php source RPM.

While trying to do an rpmbuild -ba, I receive these messages:
#define PHP_SAFE_MODE 0
#define PHP_SAFE_MODE_EXEC_DIR "/usr/bin"
#define PHP_SIGCHILD 0
#define PHP_WRITE_STDOUT 1
#define SIZEOF_INT 4
#define SIZEOF_LONG 4
#define STDC_HEADERS 1
#define WITH_BCMATH 1
#define YYTEXT_POINTER 1
#endif
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" void std::exit (int) throw (); using std::exit;

configure: exit 1
+ make -j4
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.76493 (%build)

RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.76493 (%build)

But, while doing a ./configure; make; make test of the php source, I get
a proper build.

How do I go about troubleshooting the rpmbuild function?

Thanks

php-mysql is phpmyadmin. Is not it?
I noticed that in theold times... :-)

What version of phpmyadmin is embedded on?

Try your "./configure; make; make test" with exactly the same options as
in the spec file.

No, it's a subpackage of php. The source package creates the main binary 
and several subpackages. This is done to reduce "coupling", so that if you 
don't have mysql installed, you don't have to install the mysql component 
of php. But it still gets built from the source package. Look in the spec 
file to see all the subpackages that get generated. While end users are not 
required to have all dependent packages installed, packagers are, in order 
to build all the subpackages.

Note the RPM build error, which tells you that it was running the %build 
scriptlet and that it was stored in the temp file /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.76493. 
Look at that file and perhaps try running the commands within it "by hand".
