I am compiling PHP and PostgreSQL myself. I have got things working fine. There were about 25 options I added (using this method http://vladgh.com/blog/install-nginx-and-php-php-fpm-mysql-and-apc) for the PHP compile.

If I want to add an option to PHP (e.g. pdo) do I need to re-enter those 25 and then enter the line for enabling pg_pdo, or are the previous options stored and I only need to enter the one new option? What I am getting at here is the ./configure method, not help for installing postgres. I don’t understand how ./configure works or if it stores it’s previous values and can just be added to.

Also, if I am upgrading PostgreSQL, is there even any need to recompile PHP if I am NOT changing options.

I hope this is clear. I have been searching for a day now and just can’t seem to make headway. I probably don’t know enough about the make process for linux. I am running Ubuntu 10.04LTS server.

    “

    The configure script should write a file named ‘config.status’ which
    describes which configuration options were specified when the program
    was last configured. This file should be a shell script which, if run,
    will recreate the same configuration
    ” *(http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Configuration.html)*

    Using this file (config.status) I can issue a ./configure again and add additional options as needed.

    I think this is the best way to know what you configured the first time whilst adding to it.
