Subject: Must I use Fink?
From: Abram Gillespie

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.

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!

This is waaay old but I'm finally getting around to this (read: the
client is paying). I've since updated to Macports 1.6. Is this
custom port still necessary (I assume so since I still don't see a
dbase option)? If so, I want to use a combo of patching and setting
up a local port (so I don't fubar the clean port). I assume I don't
just grab php5 source and dump it into a local directory and point
sources.conf at it. I'm sure a get a copy of the port, place it
locally, patch it, then follow
http://guide.macports.org/#development. … ositories. How do I
go about getting a local copy of the php5 port. Also, am I missing
anything?
Thank you for all the help! And I'll be sure to report back my experience.

You're right, the php5 port doesn't have a dbase variant yet.
To see where the php5 portfile is on your hard drive, type:
port file php5
To copy it to a new directory "php5" in your home directory, for
example, type:
mkdir ~/php5
cp `port file php5` ~/php5
Then you can edit ~/php5/Portfile as desired and to install it, you
type:
cd ~/php5
sudo port install
Or add variants as desired, e.g.:
sudo port install +apache2

Ryan,
Your older instructions from 9/27 worked perfectly.
Thanks for the help Ryan / MacPorts list!
