Compiling php

[khh]

I am trying to compile PHP on my Raspberry Pi. but it failed to compile with a very unhelpful message. I just downloaded the latest stable php code from the official site, ran ./configure it and then ran make with no arguments. It compiled a lot of files before failing on this one.

Code: Select all

/bin/bash /home/khh/build/php-5.4.5/libtool --silent --preserve-dup-deps --mode=compile cc -I/home/khh/build/php-5.4.5/ext/fileinfo/libmagic -Iext/fileinfo/ -I/home/khh/build/php-5.4.5/ext/fileinfo/ -DPHP_ATOM_INC -I/home/khh/build/php-5.4.5/include -I/home/khh/build/php-5.4.5/main -I/home/khh/build/php-5.4.5 -I/home/khh/build/php-5.4.5/ext/date/lib -I/home/khh/build/php-5.4.5/ext/ereg/regex -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/home/khh/build/php-5.4.5/ext/sqlite3/libsqlite -I/home/khh/build/php-5.4.5/TSRM -I/home/khh/build/php-5.4.5/Zend    -I/usr/include -g -O2 -fvisibility=hidden  -c /home/khh/build/php-5.4.5/ext/fileinfo/libmagic/apprentice.c -o ext/fileinfo/libmagic/apprentice.lo

Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.6/README.Bugs> for instructions.
make: *** [ext/fileinfo/libmagic/apprentice.lo] Error 1

Do anyone have any idea of how I might continue from here? Have anyone else experienced anything similar? And should I do as they suggest, submit a full bug report to GCC?

Out of curiosity, why are you trying to compile it ? Why not just install it ?

I like compiling it so I can get the latest version. On raspian it's only one bugfix/security fix behind, but still. It's not a big issue, I have the package downloaded now and things are working, I just thought it was odd. I've never seen a build fail like that before.

IMLE (in my limited experience ) errors like that are often caused by out-of-memory problems.
You could try enabling a swapfile, and compiling again?

That worked, thanks.
