As a result, I have to set IGNORE_WITH_PHP= 5 in the Makefile. The problem is that the resulting error message is: ===> squirrelmail-1.4.22_2 cannot install: doesn't work with PHP version : 5 (Doesn't support PHP 5). This is inaccurate, and as a result I have received far too many emails asking why I "removed" php-5 compatibility. bsd.php.mk will not acknowledge IGNORE_WITH_PHP= 54 as a valid alternative. The wording of the message is obviously unclear. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: bsd.php.mk should either accept (and print in the resulting error message) the value "54" as an alias for "5", or the IGNORE_WITH_PHP=5 error message should be manually set to print a more helpful message. Even the ability to append a useful message to the confusing canned message would help. If I'm missing something here please let me know. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
