[PATCH] php5 with +apache2 needs explicit link with DP pcre

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

Building apache2 and php5 today on an older 10.3 box, putting this line into httpd.conf

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

got Apache to quickly core dump. Here's the stack trace:

It looks like PHP 5.1.2 comes with pcre 6.2 and DP has 6.6 now. And Apache2 links against the DP pcre 6.6. So not too surprising there's a core dump.

This patch adds pcre explicitly to only the apache2 variant, but it may be a good idea to add it to the entire package. That's up to the maintainer.

Regards, Blair

PS There's no explicit maintainer on PHP5, although it's seen recent activity.

Patch to add explicit port:pcre and link against DP's pcre port

Assign to maintainer

Although I am not experiencing the issue mentioned in this ticket, it seems reasonable that php5 should link against the pcre port. I am in favor of that happening always, not just for the apache2 version. Changed in r23411.
