Re: [Ltib] ltib - php with pdo extension

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Leon,

If I were doing it, I would first try and add the PDO package as an
add-on to the current version in LTIB.  The reason is that the later
package may have dependencies on other packages that will also need to
be changed.

If you do have to move to 5.2, I would initially do this as a new spec
file.  The steps would be:

$ cp dist/lfs-5.1/php/php.spec dist/lfs-5.1/php/php-5.2.spec

edit the new spec file and change the sources reference to the new version.

Download the php tarball and put it in /opt/ltib/pkgs (or
/opt/freescale/pkg if you're using an ISO).

Add/edit your platform's config/platform/_your_platform_/pkg_map
 file and set:

PKG_PHP = php-5.2

You can then try to build as normal.

If you do get this working, please let me know and then maybe the
default package can be moved to 5.2.

Regards, Stuart
