#19523: Mac OS X 10.5.6 libiconv, openssl errors when trying to build PHP 5.2.9 ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: z3r0_f4ct0r@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: libiconv, openssl | Port: libiconv, openssl ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by ryandesign@…): Software installed by MacPorts will not replace any files installed by Apple, and that's by design. Replacing Apple software would be bad, as any Apple software update could come in and wipe out your changes, not to mention that Mac OS X was not designed to have its parts replaced like that, so if you do, parts of Mac OS X may not work right anymore. MacPorts tries to install most everything to its own prefix, by default /opt/local, so that it's separate from anything you may already have. I have not yet tried to build the MacPorts php5 or apache2 ports with the universal variant (e.g. with any 64-bit support) so I don't know if they work right like that. If there are specific PHP extension you need that are not provided by MacPorts, let me know; I may be able to add ports for them. Since you originally filed this ticket, PHP extensions are now in their own ports instead of part of the php5 port, so adding new ports for new extensions should be easy. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19523#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
