Morgan,

You might get more responses if you post to the unix-porting list.

To build PHP with all its options is quite a chore.

You might want to try Marc Liyanage's  "official" php build from <http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/>. He also has good information about building PHP on that page.

Alternately you can use MacPorts, Fink or my port at www.hmug.org. All three systems will give hints about building the packages yourself.

If you want to roll your own, it is best to also build apache (Apple's is usually out of date) into /usr/local and modify the Startup item. I have in the past also overwritten the Apple installation, but this can cause problems (if Apple updates it with an older version) and is not to be recommended.

I'm in need of having PHP built with GD support and it's been a while (Darwin 1.4.1 days, actually) since I've had to do so.

My Xserve (Dual 2GHz G5) is running Mac OS X 10.4.8 Server (Darwin 8.8) and I've already got GD (and its prerequisites: libjpeg, libpng, zlib, etc.) built and working with Perl. So, I've obviously got to build PHP with the '--with-gd' option.

Since I'm running the built-in Apache & PHP, PHP is version 4.4.1 (last updated in Darwin 8.6; http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.6.ppc/apache_mod_php-18.4/) and was built with the following configure command:

'/SourceCache/apache_mod_php/apache_mod_php-18.4/php/configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--disable-dependency-tracking' '--with-apxs' '--with-ldap=/usr' '--with-kerberos=/usr' '--enable-cli' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--enable-trans-sid' '--with-xml' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbregex' '--enable-dbx' '--enable-sockets' '--with-iodbc=/usr' '--with-curl=/usr' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--sysconfdir=/private/etc' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-mysql-sock=/var/mysql/mysql.sock'

So, my question is, if I rebuild the same version of PHP will I have to rebuild Apache (again, it's been a while and so I can't remember how the dependancy works)? If not, can I build a new copy with '--prefix=/usr/local' and still have it to work with the built-in apache or will I have to replace the built-in PHP (something I'd like to avoid)?

Or, should I just be building a matching Apache & PHP in /usr/local and modifying the Startup Items and/or launchd jobs? If I rebuild the same versions will that break any of Server Admin.app and serveradmin's functionality?

Thanks for any insight and assistance you can provide,

Morgan Aldridge
