[Bug 739977] Re: PHP5 FTBFS in Natty

Tue Mar 22 08:18:48 UTC 2011

The way php5 does its library presence checks is unusual.  Apparently
someone recreated autotools functionality themselves, in a way that
breaks the multiarch work being done for Natty.

In reality, noone is likely to rework an 85K (non-empty) line configure
script!  So a smaller cheaper fix needs to be found.

Attached are two small patches that allow the PHP ./configure script to
find libpcre and libdb4 on a Natty (multiarch) machine.

Still needed are equivalent fixes for at least some of the graphics
libraries... but I need some sleep :)

** Patch added: "libpcre-is-multiarch.patch"
