Force installation prefix doesn't work

[toben]

Hello ! I wanted to make a deb package of your library but I got some issues. I wanted to force the prefix to /tmp/sundown. So, I put it in the RakeFile : desc "compile php-sundown" task :compile => ['sundown/src/markdown.h'] do sh "phpize" sh "./configure --prefix=/tmp/sundown/" sh "make" end

But, the installation still need the root rights and install nothing in this directory. How can I fix that ? Do you have an idea ?

P.S: Sorry, if my english isn't that good.

I'm not sure to make a debian package. but, you can make your deb package with following step.

sudo aptitude install dh-make-php
export DEBEMAIL="your email"
export DEBFULLNAME="Your Name"
# downloading package file is easiest way.
pecl download sundown-beta
mkdir deb
mv sundown-0.3.3.tar.gz deb
cd deb
dh-make-pecl sundown-0.3.3.tgz 
cd sundown-0.3.3
debuild -uc -us

Basically, phpize depends on you php system. probably it try to install under /usr/local directory in your case.

Thanks a lot ! I didn't know pecl. There was just some mistake in your script (bad directory name), I fixed it : sudo aptitude install dh-make-php # or sudo apt-get install dh-make-php export DEBEMAIL="Your email" export DEBFULLNAME="Your name" pecl download sundown-beta mkdir deb mv sundown-0.3.3.tgz deb cd deb dh-make-pecl sundown-0.3.3.tgz --depends xsltproc cd php-sundown-0.3.3 cd sundown-0.3.3 debuild -uc -us

Thanks again !
