Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ4, PHP and IMAP with StackGuard

[Goetz Lohmann <goetz.lohmann@xxxxxx>]

I compiled PHP 4.3.0 with Stackguard and static IMAP ... here is a link
to the Tarball

http://www.edutaine.net/downloads/php430.tar.gz

which includes modules and is compiled with this options:
./configure
--prefix=/usr
--enable-magic-quotes
--enable-mbstr-enc-trans
--enable-mbstring
--enable-mm=shared
--enable-calendar
--enable-dba
--enable-dbase
--enable-dbx
--enable-ftp
--enable-gd-native-ttf
--enable-inline-optimization
--enable-safe-mode
--enable-track-vars
--enable-trans-sid
--enable-wddx=shared
--enable-xml
--disable-debug
--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
--with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd
--with-curl=shared
--with-dba
--with-db3=/usr/include/
--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin
--with-flatfile
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/freetype2
--with-gd
--with-gettext=/usr
--with-gdbm
--with-imap
--with-interbase=shared
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib
--with-kerberos
--with-ldap=shared
--with-libdir=/usr/lib
--with-mbstr-enc-trans
--with-mbstring
--with-mcrypt
--with-ming
--with-mysql
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl
--with-pdflib=shared
--with-png-dir=/usr/lib
--with-pgsql=shared
--with-regex=system
--with-ttf=/usr/include/freetype
--with-t1lib=/usr/local/t1lib
--with-tiff-dir=/usr/lib
--with-zlib
--with-xpm-dir=/usr/lib

Use it at your own risc ... I by myself use it on a Cobalt RaQ4 without
any problem so far.
Maybe you need also additional modules like freetype ... report any
error and I will
include the neccessary files to the Archive
