[gentoo-user] custom ebuild questions

[nate]

I'm not sure if this is the proper list, if it is not I apologize and  
if someone could tell me which I should use it would be appreciated.

I'm having a few issues, and I'm not exactly sure where these are  
exactly.

First off I built a custom apache-2.0.58 ebuild from the one in the  
portage tree.  It seems to have compiled just fine, and reads all of  
our previous apache configs, it even loads up php just fine and  
dandy.  The reason for this custom build was we needed a specific  
layout that we have created, which was used during the compiling of  
apache.

Next onto php.  Since our application relies heavily on php for the  
back end we have several patches that we have created, as well as  
needing very specific things done in the ./configure portion of  
compiling.  The patches applied just fine, I looked for the lines  
that were changed in the source code while it was compiling and they  
did change.  The ./configure that I put inside /usr/portage/eclass/ 
depend.apache also ran with no problems.

My php.ini location was specified in two locations, first with --with- 
config-file-path=/etc/apache as well as modifying PHP_INI_DIR="/etc/ 
apache/" in /usr/portage/eclass/php5_1-sapi.eclass, though a php -i  
still shows the default location for the gentoo build at /etc/php/ 
apache2-php5/php.ini.  I know it's silly to require our php.ini to be  
in /etc/apache, but currently that's where a *lot* of code looks for  
that file, symbolic links cause issues so the file must reside there.

Finally libphp5.so does not seem to compile *at all.*  This is  
troublesome considering I am compiling with the apache support  
enabled.  Without that I won't be able to use php scripts through  
apache, any idea why that doesn't exist?
