<h1>Anonymous CVS Access</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you wish to get the latest PHP source tree, you can obtain it
|
|
through anonymous CVS. You should be warned that the CVS version
|
|
is a development version, and as such, is often unstable, and may
|
|
not even compile properly. The advantage of using CVS, though,
|
|
is that you can get the latest fixes and updates, without having
|
|
to wait for the official releases.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can find more information about CVS, and
|
|
download clients for most major platforms, at <a
|
|
href="http://www.cvshome.org/">CVShome.org</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> PHP 4 uses an advanced configuration system that requires you to have
|
|
autoconf (2.13+), automake (1.4+), libtool (1.4+ [except 1.4.2]), bison
|
|
(1.28+) and flex (2.5.4+) installed. All of the necessary utilities can be
|
|
obtained from <a href="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/">the GNU FTP site</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>It is recommended that you configure CVS by putting this
|
|
in your <tt>~/.cvsrc</tt> file:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
cvs -z3
|
|
update -d -P
|
|
checkout -P
|
|
diff -u
|
|
</pre></li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Log in to the PHP anonymous CVS server. Use <strong>phpfi</strong> as the password.<br>
|
|
<pre>cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository login</pre></li>
|
|
<li>Obtain the PHP 4 CVS tree:<br>
|
|
<pre>cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository co php4</pre></li>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>

<strong style="color: #99000">Note:</strong> <br/>
|
|
<i>You can retrieve a specific release of PHP from CVS by using the -r flag in your cvs command. For example:<br><pre>
|
|
cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository co -r PHP_4_0_7 php4
|
|
</pre>
|
|
Tags for major releases look like php_VERSION where version is the version number with periods replaced with underscores.</i>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<li>Make sure you have autoconf 2.13 or newer, automake 1.4 or newer and libtool
|
|
1.4 or newer.
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<strong style="color: #99000">Note:</strong> <br/>
|
|
<i> Certain combinations of autoconf, automake and libtool may not work when used together.<br />
|
|
See <a href="#buildconf_fail">below</a> for details.</i><br />
|
|
Also, certain versions of autoconf may generate warnings of <i>AC_PROG_CPP called before AC_PROG_CC</i>.
|
|
These messages can usually be ignored.
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Run ./buildconf. After a while, the configure script should be generated.<br />
|
|
<li>From this point onwards, installation is similar to the installation of one of
|
|
the official packages with one main difference - you must have bison 1.28 or later
|
|
and flex 2.54 or later to compile, because the pre-generated scanner and parser
|
|
files are not included in CVS.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are also other things, like the XML source code
|
|
for the documentation, available via anonymous CVS. See <a
|
|
href="http://cvs.php.net/">the web-based view</a> of the CVS server
|
|
to see what is available, and substitute the appropriate name for
|
|
"php4" in step 3 (and ignore the later steps).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can also mirror the PHP CVS repository using CVSup. See
|
|
<a href="/cvsup.php">here</a> for more details.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong><a name="buildconf_fail">autoconf, automake and libtool information</a></strong></p>
|
|
<p> There seem to be problems with libtool 1.4.2. It is suggested that you use
|
|
libtool 1.4, along with the most current versions of autoconf and automake.
|
|
You should also ensure that autoconf, automake and libtool are installed in the same directory.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following combination are known to work.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>autoconf 2.52, automake 1.4 and libtool 1.4</li>
|
|
<li>autoconf 2.52, automake 1.5 and libtool 1.4</li>
|
|
</ul>
