I need to add Sybase support to PHP. Following a couple different pages I found using Google, the process I used to modify the PHP rpm is as follows:
I created a user called "rpmbuild", with it's own home directory "/home/rpmbuild".
Everything has been done while logged in as the "rpmbuild" user.
I installed php-4.3.9-3.src.rpm using the command: rpm -ivh --define '_topdir /home/rpmbuild/rpm' php-4.3.9-3.src.rpm
Create a file ~rpmbuild/.rpmmacros with the following line:
%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpm
You can then leave off the --define '_topdir /home/rpmbuild/rpm' when building RPMs.
I created the necessary directories with the command: mkdir -p BUILD RPMS/i386 SRPMS
I then modified "rpm/SPECS/php.spec", adding the line "--with-sybase=/opt/sybase", inserting it between a couple other --with statements:
--with-kerberos \ --with-sybase=/opt/sybase
Missing \ at the end of the line.
--with-ldap=shared \ --with-mysql=shared,%{_prefix} \
...basically, I just picked a spot. :)
I then attempt to rebuild the rpm using the command:
rpmbuild --define '_topdir /home/rpmbuild/rpm' -ba /home/rpmbuild/rpm/SPECS/php.spec
Eventually, it errors. The screen output is:
-----
checking whether to enable ctype functions... yes
checking for CURL support... yes
checking for CURL in default path... found in /usr
checking for cURL 7.9.8 or greater... libcurl 7.12.1

configure: error: There is something wrong. Please check config.log for more information.
error: Bad exit status from /home/rpmbuild/rpm/tmp/rpm-tmp.16415 (%build)
Do you have the curl-devel package installed?
Paul.
