I try to compile PHP5 from the kamikaze repository (https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/packages).
This is the command I use:
# make package/php5-{clean,compile}

The following packages are succesfully built (these are dependencies I guess):
curl_7.14.0-1_mipsel.ipk     libjpeg_6b-1_mipsel.ipk
jpeg-tools_6b-1_mipsel.ipk   libltdl_1.5.22-1_mipsel.ipk
libcurl_7.14.0-1_mipsel.ipk  libpng_1.2.8-1_mipsel.ipk
libgd_2.0.33-2_mipsel.ipk    libsasl2_2.1.20-1_mipsel.ipk

but when it tries to compile the openldap libs I get the following error:

...
checking for pthread_kill_other_threads_np... yes
checking for LinuxThreads implementation... yes
checking for LinuxThreads consistency... yes
checking if pthread_create() works... yes
checking if select yields when using pthreads... cross
configure: error: crossing compiling: use --with-yielding_select=yes|no|manual

make[1]: *** [openldap-compile] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/www/nils/OpenWrt-SDK-Linux-i686-1/package'
make: *** [package/php5-compile] Error 2

The WR SDK is my own built that I got by 'make DEVELOPER=1 world' on the WR source.
The host system is Debain 3.1.
Whats the reason? I can't figure out,
any help is appreciated.
thanks

Same problem here. Since you're using WR you can open a ticket.

Thank you forum2006,
but I solved that problem for me. Its not a clean way, but it works:
I edited the file 'configure' in openldap-2.2.29 directory. In line 1606 change from

        ol_with_yielding_select="auto"

to

        ol_with_yielding_select="yes"

It seems that the argument were not correctly passed/recocnized from the conf-opts.

But now I have another problem when building postgresql-8.2.3.

checking whether to build with 64-bit integer date/time support... no
checking whether NLS is wanted... no
checking for default port number... 5432
checking for mipsel-linux-gcc... mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
make[2]: *** [/var/www/nils/OpenWrt-SDK-Linux-i686-1/build_mipsel/postgresql-8.2.3/.configured] Error 77
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/www/nils/packages/libs/postgresql'
make[1]: *** [postgresql-compile] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/www/nils/OpenWrt-SDK-Linux-i686-1/package'
make: *** [package/php5-compile] Error 2

can someone confirm this too?

::EDIT::
I solved this Problem by simply commenting all lines in php-Makefile which contained 'postgresql'. Now the php5-mod-postgresql will not be compiled, but I don't need it anyway, so I'm happy with that.

ok. backporting is useless and you waste your time!

from http://openwrt.org/logs/openwrt.log.20070525 :
[00:13] <forum2006> alright. backporting doesn't work anymore. seems lots of changes in trunk like CONFIGURE_ARGS are not backported to whiterussian. so, it's useless to try backporting
[00:15] <forum2006> CONFIGURE_ARGS is missing in whiterussian and that's why openldap blames with configure: error: crossing compiling: use --with-yielding_select=yes|no|manual
[00:15] <forum2006> it simply doesn't pass configure_args to the configure script anymore

[21:42] <nbd> kamikaze packages don't work on whiterussian

Hi forum2006, hi folks,
i'd like to discuss with you about whiterussian, i'd like to have a stable AP for home environment so i've choosen to use WhiteRussian ('cause kamikaze is quite instable), i've created the entire environment as you suggested, i can clearly compile and create my own images, with "make menuconfig" i can create the SDK for making packages too.
i've used:
svn co https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/packages

to get the entire package directory so i can compile them by myself.
i'm in the same situation of "openwrt" user, but with whiterussian i cannot compile openldap, lighttpd, php5 and other things. i always get compilation error as reported from openwrt (user) and i cannot figure how to get out.
i understand packages are used by kamikaze but what svn should i do to have my own packages and have them working under whiterussian ?

Can you help me or write me down some notes on how can i solve this problem ?
Thank you in advance for your reply

Regards
Andrea (Ben) Benini

if you need the packages use kamikaze_7.06 (brcm-2.4 or whatever target paltform you are using).

i don't bother with backporting packages anymore. whiterussian is obsolete, and i guess the devs will not touch whiterussian anymore.

EDIT: for kamikaze i have setup my own local subversion and trac packages reposory. there are only packages in it that i require, use and known to compile without problems.

Thanks forum2006 for your quick reply,
today after reading your response i've seen new official launch of Kamikaze 7.06 on openwrt.org homepage, i'm quite happy of whiterussian but i can understand backporting and support for both whiterussian and kamikaze is an overkill. My router is equipped with Broadcom 5352, 16Mb Ram, Broadcom Wifi card integrated, so i need to use kamikaze 2.4 kernel if i want wifi and 2.6 kernel to use it without wireless.
Hope kamikaze could be stable enough and complete toolchain is easy to setup as whiterussian was

What about mmc module ? as many folks here i'm using mmc compiled module to supply lack of space to my AP, is it working ?
I'd like to recreate a device with php, sqlite, lighttpd and a lot of web pages, SD is a must for lot of us

Andrea (Ben) Benini

SD mod is working for kamikaze. If you need full support you should switch to kamikaze. As for me, I am happy with whiterussian, because I have successfully compiled php5, lighttpd from the kamikaze tree.
I you still want to use whiterussian you can try to use my packages here: http://nils.bastionbytes.de/packages/
bye
