Subject: RE: [PHP-INSTALL] Extensions location

I tried that and even though php-config says extension-dir = /my/extension/folder when I do a make install it goes to /my/extension/folder/non-debug-non-zts-20100525 all I want is to get rid of that non-debug-non-zts-20100525

 

Any other ideas?

I know about this entry in php.ini, but I want it to be the default place when compiling PHP, so I don't have to change it every time I compile a new version.

 

The build script specific settings are all based on the --prefix argument, so you can easily change where php will be installed including extensions, libs, executables even pear. What you are after though might be a little more tricky but I've had some success tweaking the scripts/config.in source file which in itself will look at certain environment variables lets have a look for you shall we? In your case the setting is:

 

extension_dir='@EXTENSION_DIR@'

 

Which you can edit directly before running configure or setting the environment variable

 

export EXTENSION_DIR=/tmp/my/extensions

 

You can also place it before the configure commend like this

 

EXTENSION_DIR=/tmp/my/extensions ./configure

 

What have we? It would appear luck is your good fortune, the setting did change and the file scripts/php-config correctly reports.

 

--extension-dir     [/tmp/my/extensions]

 

nJoy!
