Author Solaris 9 + PHP Hangs on configure
James Taylor

2005-03-12, 3:57 am

I'm having trouble installing any version of PHP on solaris 9. I've
tried older versions of 4.3.x a few months ago, then recently tried
4.3.10 and also the latest version of 5.

I'm using a bunch of GNU tools from sunfreeware.com, have GCC installed,
and have been able to compile most programs without much trouble.

With PHP though, I run

../configure


and it sits at this prompt infinitely:
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.9

Never moves on, never does anything else. Just sits there forever. I'd
install a binary, but the binary as far as I can tell isn't set up for
apxs. If all else fails, I guess I'll have to figure out how to use it,
but I'd much rather compile the source with all the options I want.


It doesn't matter what configure options I use. No options or 5 lines
of options, it sits at that prompt doing nothing.


Any ideas?
