Copiliing PHP with MySQL support

["Mike Glaser" <jurupari@geocities.com>]

For those of you that replied to my query earlier this week, thanks! 
I realized that I need to recompile the PHP source code to enable 
MySQL support. My problem is now I cannot compile the bloody thing 
after having spent close to three full days on it.

Here is where I am at...

I downloaded and unzipped the following three packages to /install

apache_1.3.9.tar.gz
php-3.0.12.tar.gz
mysql-3.22.27.tar.gz

Following the 'Quick Installation Instructions (Apache Module 
Version) that came with the PHP tarball, I have done the following:

1) from Apache directory: ./configure --prefix=/www
2) from php    directory: ./configure --with-mysql=../mysql_3.22.27
                                      --with-apache=../apache_1.3.9
                                      --enable-track-vars

above gave me errors saying it could not find 
../mysql_3.22.27/include/mysql_com.h and mysql_version.h

Those two files were not in the include directory, but those files 
were there with a '.in' tacked on the end of them, so I made copies 
of each and removed the '.in' after the '.h'

at this point I re-run the line in step 2 from above and the 
./configure script seemed to run ok.

3) make

This went on and on and finally went haywire with the following 
notice:

In file included from functions/mysql.c:84:
/install/php-3.0.12/../mysql-3.22.27/include/mysql.h:166:parse error
functions/mysql.c:95:parse error
functions/mysql.c:476:parse error
functions/mysql.c:502:parse error
functions/mysql.c:541:parse error
functions/mysql.c:590:parse error
functions/mysql.c:874:parse error
functions/mysql.c:939:parse error


When I went into vi and examined the line numbers above, each went 
something like:

if MYSQL_VERSION_ID < 32200 .......

in each case, the constant MYSQL_VERSION_ID  (that may not be EXACTLY 
what it was named) was in the line that could not be 'parsed'.


Any ideas on what I can do to enable MySQL support in PHP? Using the 
RPM's only doesn't seem to work (though PHP by itself did). So I 
figured my last resort was to compile, but my ability to do that is 
very limited. All I have ever compiled is the linux kernal after one 
of our users meetings!

Thanks,
