BTW: recent zlib provides an proper pkg-config descriptor, which should be used. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme --- ## #49969 — Enrico Weigelt — 2010-10-26T00:11:51+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/49953#49969 * Lonny K wrote: > > […] > > I do not understand how to use this to have it compile correctly with > --with-zlib[=DIR] > Can you please elaborate? configure.ac has to be changed properly. it's a bit tricky, since the zlib importing code is distributed over many places ... cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme --- ## #49970 — Antony Dovgal — 2010-10-26T07:58:42+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/49953#49970 · In reply to: #49953 > PHP 5.2.14 > > Docs say to compile w/ zlib you need to use the --with-zlib[=DIR] flag. > > This does not work. You need to use --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=[DIR] No, you don't have to use it, --with-zlib works just fine: # ./configure --with-zlib=/no/zlib/there ... checking for OpenSSL support... no checking for Kerberos support... no checking for PCRE support... no checking for ZLIB support... yes checking if the location of ZLIB install directory is defined... no configure: error: Cannot find libz You can open ext/zlib/config0.m4 and check the logic behind both options. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal --- http://pinba.org - realtime statistics for PHP
