Hello. Let me preface the following by first thanking you for your indulgence,
and taking the time to share your insight. :)
That said, as you already knew - php5 installed quite as intended. But the
extensions are "squealing like pigs" in my error log -
Unable to load dynamic library...
So I'm just going to uninstall the whole works, and start with PHP5, then
the extensions.
As per setting things up by editing the Makefile v using the /etc/make.conf;
I had considered saving the altered variables from the Makefile and using
USE_SUBMAKE, which would allow me to "suck" the changes into make. But then
wondered how I might continue using my usual conditionals in /etc/make.conf;
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/lang/php5}
WITH_THIS=TRUS
WITHOUT_THAT=TRUE
...
.endif
But hadn't experimented much beyond that, except a couple of others...
X_WINDOW_SYSTEM=xorg, WITH_GECKO=seamonkey,CPUTYPE?=pentium(N), etc.
You mention that it'll change the parameters for all ports. But I was
thinking that if used in an if.. then conditional I might be able to
limit it's scope.
Well, you've (kindly) given me some more studying to do. As I'm
getting a bit weary of this whole thing. I'm going to end it here, and
get on with it.
Thank you again for all your time and consideration.
