[phpxmlrpc-devel] Makefile is broken

[Ichiro W. <ver...@gm...>]

Hi there,

I just downloaded

http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpxmlrpc/files/phpxmlrpc/3.0.0beta/xmlrpc-3.0.0.beta.zip/download

unzipped it and run make at the top level after changing the PHP and
PHPINCLUDEDIR variables.
I had to fix the following problems:

0. An INSTALL file at top level wouldn't take long to write and it
would be more welcoming

1. cd lib && cp lib/...

[~/xmlrpc-3.0.0.beta]# make
cd lib && cp lib/xmlrpc.inc lib/xmlrpcs.inc lib/xmlrpc_wrappers.inc
/home/pizza/lib/php
cp: cannot stat `lib/xmlrpc.inc': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `lib/xmlrpcs.inc': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `lib/xmlrpc_wrappers.inc': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

2. I had to work out by reading the Makefile that I had to change the
WEB variable in doc/Makefile

3. No *.css files

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/guilioco/xmlrpc-3.0.0.beta/doc'
mkdir -p /home/pizza/www/xmlrpc/doc
cp *.html /home/pizza/www/xmlrpc/doc
cp *.css /home/pizza/www/xmlrpc/doc
cp: cannot stat `*.css': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1

4. No *.gif files

mkdir -p /home/pizza/www/xmlrpc/doc
cp *.html /home/pizza/www/xmlrpc/doc
#cp *.css /home/pizza/www/xmlrpc/doc
cp *.gif /home/pizza/www/xmlrpc/doc
cp: cannot stat `*.gif': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1


I am a novice, but it very much looks like this is broken. I find it
scary that nobody has reported/fixed this 2 months into the release.

Cheers
