bugzilla on Panther
had some issues installing Bugzilla on Panther (OS X 10.3)
in the hope that i can save some headaches, here are some tips:
- in order to get DBD::mysql installed (and some others modules?) check out this link describing a bug that didnt get fixed in the Panther release.
- install expat from source (straight up:
./configure; make; sudo make install; )
- if you try to install DBD::mysql and get something like
t/mysql.t 68 3 4.41% 46-48
1 test skipped.
Failed 1/18 test scripts, 94.44% okay. 3/767 subtests failed, 99.61% okay., you should be ok, acccording to this post. from CPAN, just type look DBD::mysql, then when you drop into the shell, run perl Makefile.PL; make; sudo make install. even though it doesnt pass some tests, it should be ok.
- if you can't get GD installed through fink, try this link for how to install GD onto OS X from source. note: i couldnt get his patch to work on
libpng, so i did it by hand. i also had to change the line:
LDFLAGS=-L. -L$(ZLIBLIB) -lpng -lz -current_version $(PNGVER)
to
LDFLAGS=-L. -L$(ZLIBLIB) -lpng -lz -dynamiclib -current_version $(PNGVER)... but i still can't get it to work. damn! oh well, its optional.
