The config option did not pop up like you say it should. /usr/ports/Mk/* was just downloaded before downloading the port files for php5-5.1.2_1. So everything you said is not true. -----Original Message----- From: Scot Hetzel [mailto:swhetzel@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, May 12, 2006 1:07 PM To: fbsd@a1poweruser.com Cc: James O'Gorman; ports@freebsd.org Subject: Re: FreeBSD Port: phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3 On 5/12/06, fbsd wrote: > I did this as per your post > > Run pkg_delete php5-5.1.2_1 and then reinstall it from the lang/php5 > port, but make sure you make config first to add in the Apache > module. > > # /usr/ports/lang/php5 >make install clean > ===> php5-5.1.4 is marked as broken: Unknown AUTOCONF version: 259. > *** Error code 1 > > Stop in /usr/ports/lang/php5. > # /usr/ports/lang/php5 > > > What now??? > Update your ports collection, as your /usr/ports/Mk/* is out of date. > How is a normal port user suppose to know to do make config to set > options first? > This should just pop up in persons face on make install. > It does pop up the first time you install the port from /usr/ports. The only time you need to use "make config" is when you want to change the options that you had selected previously. The only problem with "make config" is that if the port maintainer changes the options (adds/removes an option), then it will not pop up again. Instead it will use your previous configuration.
