Can't install pecl/mailparse with MacPorts' php5-mbstring

[andy@…]

The PECL/mailparse library compiles against the mbstring extension, *including the headers* (not just the .so).

Reproduce

# port install php5-mbstring
# pecl install mailparse
-------
pecl/mailparse requires PHP extension "mbstring"
No valid packages found
install failed

When trying to compile manually, via phpize / make:

Solution

Allow mbstring to be compiled directly into PHP5 with --enable-mbstring. (Pre-php5extension behavior?)

Admittedly, mailparse is one of the few (only?) PECL packages that requires an extension in this manner, but it's useful enough.

As of r61490, all php5extension ports that have headers (including php5-mbstring) now install them.

Next up: make a php5-mailparse port.

Make that as of r61501.

Anthony was good enough to make this port for us, in r62551.
