## #4672 — Sebastian Bergmann — 2003-10-04T09:21:51+00:00

URL: https://externals.io/message/4672#4672

Current HEAD won't configure on my GENTOO/Linux laptop:

    sb@wopr-mobile:/usr/src/php/php5/ > ./cvsclean && ./buildconf
    using default Zend directory
    buildconf: checking installation...
    buildconf: autoconf version 2.13 (ok)
    buildconf: libtool version 1.4.3 (ok)
    rebuilding aclocal.m4
    rebuilding configure
    autoconf: Undefined macros:
    ***BUG in Autoconf--please report*** AC_CHECK_TYPES
    rebuilding acconfig.h
    rebuilding main/php_config.h.in

  The generated configure breaks with

    ./configure: line 79821:
    syntax error near unexpected token `mbstate_t,,,'
    ./configure: line 79821: `AC_CHECK_TYPES(mbstate_t,,,'

  I did not update my auto* tools lately, so this should not be related
  to my build environment.
