RE: Question on compiling

[S Peram]

Hi Gregory,

Thanks a lot for the immediate response.

My scenario is as follows:

Step 1: I've installed apache, php and mysql with

1.# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache

2../configure --with-mysql \
    --with-xml \
    --enable-track-vars \
    --with-apache=../apache_1.3.14 \

3.# make
   # make install

4.# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache \
    --enable-module=rewrite \
    --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a

5. # make
# make install

Step 2 :Now I've to add GD support with the following:

1. # cd /usr/local/src/php

2. #./configure --with-apache=../httpd --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-track-vars --with-gd=/usr/local/gd

3. # make
# make install

4.# cd /usr/local/src/apache
   # make
   # make install

I was wondering whether Step 2 this will affect my previous installation in Step 1.

 

Your suggestions and comments will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Peram

individual packages (especially applications) are normally independent from
each other.

if one of the "programs" you are compiling is a library package, that is used
by another package that you are compiling, then there will be a dependency
effect. For example, if the library had different configure switchs/options to
enable/disable certain options, when you build that library w/ a new set of
switchs, that might affect dependent programs.

note that the affect will not happen, unless you actually INSTALL the library.
If you do not install the library, then generally there will be no effect on
applications (even dependent applications).

If each of us have one object, and we exchange them,
then each of us still has one object.
If each of us have one idea, and we exchange them,
then each of us now has two ideas.
