Are php extensions subpackages?

[Sunnz]

Hello,

I have been trying to install PHP from ports but end up quite confused.

I installed php5-core but I think it built the -fastcgi subpackage/flavor for some reason? This is the command I used:

cd /usr/ports/www/php5/core
env SUBPACKAGE="-main" make install

Anyway that only installed php5-core so I guess I go on.

Now I am trying to install some extensions,

cd /usr/ports/www/php5/extensions
env SUBPACKAGE="-gd" make install

But it seems to be compiling not just gd but ALL extensions?? What's going on here?? Does anyone know how to build extensions one by one? This is taking ages and I rather not have to wait this long every time.

And no I won't be able to use precompiled packages.

Use the no_* (pseudo)flavors to disable the subpackages you don't want to build

e.g.
env FLAVOR='no_bz2 no_curl no_dba no_dbase no_gmp no_imap no_ldap no_mcrypt no_mhash no_mysql no_ncurses no_odbc no_pgsql no_snmp no_soap no_sybase_ct no_xmlrpc
no_xsl' make

DOH!

I was actually doing env FLAVORS='no_bz2 no_curl no_dba no_dbase no_gmp no_imap no_ldap no_mcrypt no_mhash no_mysql no_ncurses no_odbc no_pgsql no_snmp no_soap no_sybase_ct no_xmlrpc
no_xsl' make

Because, well, I did a make show=FLAVORS before that, which shows all available FLAVORS. So for actually building the port you want FLAVOR without the S instead.

Thanks for the help it has build the packages I want now!!
