PhP: --with-mysql
Authored by: Chas on May 19, '01 09:17:12AM

I am baffled by the PhP install. The configure flag --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql in particular has me stumped. From what I can tell, the "/path/to/mysql" has to be edited, and replaced with the real path, which is apparently /usr/local/mysql. Except I've been unable to get PhP to compile with any option like that, it craps out looking for the mysql libraries. Or am I a complete dunce, and it literally has to read "/path/to/mysql"..?

PhP: --with-mysql
Authored by: Gwyrrdin on May 19, '01 12:15:57PM

It has to be read as: path to mySQL :)
because this varies on the most OS X boxes....
on my machine it is /usr/local/mysql, on other it can be /usr/local/
etc etc etc.

Good luck
