Xapian discuss - Oct 2007 - php4 rpm bindings

Hi,

Apologies if I sound like a stuck record :-)

I can build the 1.0.3 xapian-bindings spec file with PHP4 if I drop the 
%{_datadir} from the php4 source directory (second line):

%{?!_without_php: [ -d "%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/php5" ] && mv 
%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/php5 %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/php}
%{?!_without_php: [ -d "%{buildroot}/php4" ] && mv
%{buildroot}/php4
%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/php}
%{?!_without_tcl8: mv %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/doc/%{name}/tcl8 
%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/doc/%{name}-tcl8-%{version}}

My feeling is this is probably a bug in the PHP Makefile, but I can't 
work out the point at which the php4 directory gets installed.

Everything else is happy. Unfortunately I lost my 'clean' RHEL4 VM to 
build on. I should have a RHEL5 VM available soon to do some RPM 
building though.

All the best,
Tim.

Um, did you report this before?  Sorry if I missed it.

The issue is that php/Makefile.am uses datarootdir which is new in
autoconf 2.60.  If that's changed to datadir it should work with
both old and new autoconf.  I'll commit that fix but it would be
useful if you can confirm that make the spec file change unnecessary.
