[mapserver-users] Debian ?

[Antti.Roppola at brs.gov.au]

Hello,

There are detailed instructions for building PHP/Mapscript
under Debian on the Wiki.

I just installed PHP using apt and then inserted my manually built
PHP (using system regex). It's a very small change and if you do it
correctly, you won't break package management/dependancies.

I believe Paul Baker has debs that will build a CGI PHP install that
uses the system regex. That would be even neater. You may also want
to add deb-src entries to your sources.list and build your own PHP
package by changing the build rules.

Hi, I am pretty new to linux, I am trying to set up mapserver with
php-mapscript under debian (woody 3.0 install)
My problem is that I get an error which says that I need to recompile
php with --system-regex I think it was as it was complaining that php4's
regex was bad.
I am sorry about the vagueness of this, but I have been at this 25+
hours straight and it will take a bit of digging to get back to where I
was. (I trashed the file system baaaad)
Under debian, I am using an install program (apt-get) to install stuff
rather than using makefiles, so I don't have control of the options
passed to the ./config script I don't think. Can anyone point me in the
direction of somewhere that may explain this please ?
