From: Operating system: Debian squeeze PHP version: 5.3.7 Package: *Compile Issues Bug Type: Bug Bug description:'./buidconf --force' doesn't work anymore with symlinked extensions
Description: ------------ Till PHP 5.3.6 one could used symlinked directories for embedding certain extensions into a PHP build. Example: php-5.3.6/ext/apc -> /path/to/APC-3.1.9 php-5.3.7/ext/apc -> /path/to/APC-3.1.9 In the first case (5.3.6) ./buildconf --force used to rebuild the configuration. In the second case (5.3.6) it does nothing. There aren't any fs permission issues. That's the first thing that I checked. Test script: --------------- Symlink an external extension into the ext directory. Run ./buildconf --force. Expected result: ---------------- Reconfiguration in order to expose the new extension to the configure script. Actual result: -------------- Nothing relevant. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55462&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55462&r=mysqlcfg
