Hi All, I haven't gotten any response as to how I go about getting the php_dbase extension for the php5 package. Is it possible? Should I just drop MacPorts and go back to Fink? Thanks! -Abe

I've attached a possible patch. Sync your ports repository, apply it with "sudo patch `port file php` php5-dbase.patch", and then try a "sudo port install php5 +dbase +whatever_else". I don't know anything about dbase so I don't know if it'll work, but it's a try. Regards, Chris
Ahhhh, I see. Ok, so I can basically create my own package and pass in whatever options I need to the configure script. Only then do I need to manage future updates to the package. Got it. Thanks for the help all. I'll try it as soon as I get a chance. -Abe On 9/27/07, Chris Pickel <sfiera@macports.org> wrote:

Please don't desert us! :) I only hadn't responded because I wasn't familiar with dbase and had not yet had time to familiarize myself. Please let me know if the patch from Chris works and I'll be happy to incorporate it into the php5 portfile. BTW, his patching instructions should have read... sudo patch `port file php5` php5-dbase.patch
I'm under the gun right now. I'll be able to try at least by Monday. I'll let you know as soon as I do. Thanks so much! -Abe On 9/27/07, Ryan Schmidt <ryandesign@macports.org> wrote:
