Hi David,
You mentioned that you saw my earlier post regarding cross-compiling
Apache. Were you able to follow those instructions to get just the
plain Apache built ok? If so, then adding PHP (from memory) wasn't
that much harder. If you follow the install docs that come with PHP
(specifically following the information on building it statically
into the Apache executable, that's the only way I tried doing it)
and just apply the same cross compile options as I mentioned in the
old post, it should get you something that you want.
As for installation, the way I built it produces a single statically
linked executable file. So all you should have to do it copy
the "httpd" file from the build directory onto the TS-7250 and run
it instead on the supplied version. The prefix given in the
configure command should set it up to use the same directories as
the original supplied httpd so there shouldn't be much to it.
One thing to note is that because it is one single executable,
including all the options that you need and PHP, etc. it gets quite
large.
If you try this, and come back to the group with specific problems
that you are having, it might be a bit easier to help you.
Cheers
Phil
