## #21179 — Dragan Stanojevic - Nevidljivi — 2005-12-12T02:16:59+00:00

Hi all,

I'm just trying to figure out various configure options on php-5.1.1.

When I "make install" I get the following files (among others):

/usr/local/lib/php/build/shtool
/usr/local/lib/php/build/config.guess
/usr/local/lib/php/build/config.sub
/usr/local/lib/php/build/phpize.m4
/usr/local/lib/php/build/mkdep.awk
/usr/local/lib/php/build/scan_makefile_in.awk
/usr/local/lib/php/build/libtool.m4
/usr/local/lib/php/build/Makefile.global
/usr/local/lib/php/build/acinclude.m4
/usr/local/lib/php/build/ltmain.sh
/usr/local/lib/php/build/run-tests.php

but when I run the ./configure script as:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local  --libdir=/usr/local/bogus-dir 
--disable-all --with-gnu-ld --quiet

since bogus-dir doesn't exists, those files are not created... Shouldn't 
"make install" make a /usr/local/bogus-dir?

And also, I'm quite interested why are those files needed anyway...

thank you for your time,
N::

If you do not have special folders for your libs (like lib64), you do
not have to use this option.

For example, on my amd64 box I have to use --with-libdir=/lib64
