I did post the RPMs/SRPMs of what I did in my web space, so you can grab them and look at the mess: http://www.radix.net/~kws/mint/ -rw-r--r-- 1 kws tech 1262763 Sep 8 13:15 apache-php-1.0-1.m68kmint.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 kws tech 7037594 Sep 8 13:23 apache-php-1.0-1.src.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 kws tech 9756 Sep 8 13:15 apache-php-devel-1.0-1.m68kmint.rpm MySQL was not a problem as you can build without it, although many PHP apps do use it, so it made testing a little interesting. I'll see if I get some time to look into this this week, but I believe all of this was done with GCC 2.95 and the Mintlibs from the time it was built. I do have GCC 3.3.3 that I built on my CT60 Falcon, and I did get stuck building PHP 5.0, but I can not remember where, and never had the time to go back to it.
