#39835 [NEW]: Configure script fails with expr: syntax error

[cheetah at tanabi dot org]

From: cheetah at tanabi dot org
Operating system: Solaris 10
PHP version: 5.2.0
PHP Bug Type: *Compile Issues
Bug description: Configure script fails with expr: syntax error

Description:
------------
Two notes; I have tried this on two separate Solaris 10 machines and I get
this exact same error on both. On both machines, past versions of PHP have
successfully compiled -- namely PHP 5.1.6 and a few earlier ones as well.

Not doing anything particularly special here other than a 64 bit build (we
use a large memory application with this) WHICH worked perfectly fine with
5.1.6... The flags to build 64 bit are in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, namely
-mcpu=ultrasparc -m64 here's what happens:

../configure --prefix=/usr/local/64 --enable-sysvmsg --enable-sysvsem
--enable-sysvshm --enable-sockets --with-pgsql=/usr/local/64/pgsql
--with-pdo-pgsql=/usr/local/64/pgsql --with-libxml-dir=/usr/local/64
--enable-ftp --without-iconv
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for Cygwin environment... no
checking for mingw32 environment... no
checking for egrep... egrep
checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /usr/local/bin/sed
expr: syntax error
../configure: test: argument expected


'expr' shows up only about 60 billion times in the file, and I have been
unable to reasonably isolate which one is actually failing. Too bad shell
scripts aren't nice enough to provide a line number! :) I'm hoping someone
can help me out here, and appologies if this has already been reported -- I
did search the bug DB for quite awhile before posting :)


Thanks!

I had the some problem on OS X upgrading to 5.2, you just need to
upgrade your shell (e.g., bash).

Okay; I upgraded the bash on the system and made sure configure was
using it (it was using /bin/sh, which is Sun's 'sh' and therefore could
be problematic). Bash is now at 3.2 and now when I run configure (same
command as mentioned in the original bug):

====

Then it continues on normally. This problem looks like another problem
I saw in the bug system, so I'll take a look around again for it. The
build was successful, so I'm inclined to not really care as much
anymore :) But if it's a real problem I'd like to help track it down
all the same.
