I want compile php-5.6.15 with custom version of libcurl. Why? There was a bug with curl which makes some https requests failed. My distro's repositories contains just version with bug. So I guess I need to make such steps as:

  • compile curl dependencies(libssl)
  • compile curl with those dependencies
  • compile php with custom curl

My main problem is that I'm not allowed to use package manager and need to specify custom build directory, custom directory for dependencies, and so on and so forth.

So the question is: how I can achieve this? Any help appreciated!

  • "Not allowed" to use the package manager? Why not? – womble Nov 04 '15 at 07:06
  • Cause if I try to use another `curl` version I'll get a lot of dependencies issues. For example: I want `curl-7.28`, but `git`,`python3-pycurl`,`apt-transport-https`, etc. depends on current `7.35` version. – Sergey Chizhik Nov 04 '15 at 10:19
  • [`curl`'s latest version is 7.45](http://curl.haxx.se/), but at any rate, [`libcurl`'s ABI hasn't changed since 2006](http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/features.html#stableapi), so if your package manager isn't capable of handling that, you've got to re-consider your technology choices. – womble Nov 04 '15 at 22:57
  • Oh, I'm thinking about virtual machine just for developing(without any GUI, X-server), but it makes developing process a little bit complicated. So I'd like to deal with this problem on my machine. But if it too difficult, I'll look for the virtual machine with another distro. – Sergey Chizhik Nov 05 '15 at 11:09
