I am trying to build a php-5.6.32 package for current to install with php-7.2 . I am using the slackbuild from 14.2 and the alpine slackbuild from current. I am using a clean install of current in a qemu-x86-64 virtual machine.(tried it on my real system and got the same error) I also tried using the same install config from php 7 and its passing the same error .

Does anyone have an idea what i need to change in the config?

I included a screen shot of where it stopped,

It is possible to install PHP 5.6.x along with the now PHP 7.2, with some caveats.

You have to grab the 14.2 slackbuild and adapt it on using i.e. /opt/php56 as target for the installation of your custom PHP.

Bear in mind that YOU CANNOT install both (the native) PHP 7.2 and (your custom) PHP 5.6 in the /usr, it is a big NO-NO, but installing in /opt, you can even have multiple PHP versions.

Also, I do not think that issues like you describe could occur.

PS. I attached to this post an archive with my current build script for PHP 5.6, installed in /opt/php5.

Of course, lacks the PHP source tarball, being too big to be attached here.

Also, to note that's a TAR.XZ archive, renamed as .txt, for making the LQ site happy. Use at your risk, after a careful inspection.

I was able to successfully build the PHP 5.6.32 under latest -current, for a parallel install, using the SlackBuild attached to my previous post.

Thank you guys for the help!

Out of pure laziness I just used DV's supplied files, modified them back to install into the normal spot and replaced php-7.2 with 5.6.32. I only need php for my nextcloud server and I think the next version will work with php 7.2 so this hopefully will be a temporary fix.




Thank you again

I am glad to hear you resolved the issue, BUT...

I hope you figured out that I changed the names of some installed files, and even of the package, to facilitate the parallel installation with PHP72, right?

I.e. the package is named php5-5.6.32-x86_64-2.txz, /etc/httpd/mod_php5.conf.example instead of mod_php.conf.example, and so on.

Yea I saw all that and built two packages , one with your changes and one with all the names and files in their offical spots.For some reason I was able to build with the script you provided and not with the official one. If I have time this weekend ill try to figure out why . For now I will just live with the php-5.

Thanks again

Thanks again
