Summary	0000433: ./configure check of el_init: nested functions are disabled (Mac OS X 10.5)
Description	Configuring xdebugclient was failing due to inability to compile the el_init nested functions - they were something like this int main() { int el; int main() { el=el_init } } ./configure reported : error: "you have strange libedit"
Additional Information	This was on a new Leopard install btw. The fix was simple: de-nest the main functions in the el_init tests ie. just have one main() {} Everything worked after that.
Tags	No tags attached.

Operating System
PHP Version	5.2.8

I see indeed the nested function in configure, but it compiles and works just fine here: checking whether to use libedit... yes checking for tgetflag in -ltermcap... yes checking for el_set in -ledit... yes checking for H_SETSIZE... H_SETSIZE checking for number of arguments to el_init... 4

I have just completely redone the phpize/configure/make on my iMac and this time, I get no such nested functions error now. It must have been an odd environment for configure: note that nested functions are not allowed in C++, but for C files they are fine in GNU. I'm guessing my environment was C++ compiling (maybe from earlier work in the day). So....no problem ok to close. Thanks for xdebug by the way I reckon it's making thousands of people's lives easier. Vielen Dank! Pete
