Unable to compile Ice

[bernard]

Note that running these tests is not necessary to build Ice for C++ and later Ice for PHP.

Yes I have a process already listening on the 9999 ports!
Thank you now I have killed the process and the test works.
Can I run again the process killed now?

Hi,

Yes, you can if you don't want to run this test again. We'll fix this test in 3.3.1 to listen on a system assigned port instead of 9999 (which doesn't seem to be such a good random port ).

Cheers,
Benoit.

OK fine
Other little problem : the Makefile doesn't take a DESTDIR variable.
Lot of GNU softwares allow this :

./configure prefix=/usr
make
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/packagename-build

This is very usefull for building package with the simple user permissions.
I am trying to edit manually Makefile but it is not easy for me.
Can you correct this also in the new Ice version?

[benoit]

Hi,

You can just use the following to install Ice in another location:

    make prefix=/tmp/packagename-build install

We could add support for DESTDIR but it would be equivalent to setting prefix as above since none of the installed files embed the $(prefix) directory.

The only path embedded into installed files is the one specified with the embedded_runpath_prefix variable specified in */config/Make.rules files and which is used to add a runpath to Ice executables.

Cheers,
Benoit.

Thank you all working now.
I compiled Ice-cpp and Ice-php.
Edit my php.ini file.
Restart the web server Apache httpd.
And now a php script using Ice works fine
