Description:
------------
Tested with PHP 5.5.1 source and event 1.7.1.

The problem is in the code of config.m4 that belongs to this extension, the part 
where it checks the PHP version. It creates a source file that includes 
<php_version.h>. However, if you have a different PHP version (older than 5.4.0 in 
my case) installed already, it will, of course, include that file and say that it 
requires a PHP version newer than 5.4.0. Of course, it would be correct that, in 
this case, it would include something like "main/php_version.php" and use some 
other method to detect the PHP version that you are trying to build and not 
whatever else you have installed on your system.

Test script:
---------------
N/A

Expected result:
----------------
Being able to compile the extension statically into PHP

Actual result:
--------------
Finds a different version number rather than the one I am trying to build.

I've replaced the try-compile block with some $AWK parsing.
Please try Git version:

	git clone https://bitbucket.org/osmanov/pecl-event.git

Thanks.

Now it works just fine (with the version from git). I still have a problem when 
I compile libevent without OpenSSL and specify --without-event-openssl in php 
configure command. I am not sure if it is because of the extension or because of 
the alpha version of libevent that I am using. I will test more and open another 
bug if I realize it is a problem with the extension.


$ php/bin/php -i | grep event
Configure Command =>  './configure'  '--disable-all' '--disable-cgi' '--with-
event-libevent-dir=/home/florin/use/libevent' '--prefix=/home/florin/use/php' '-
-with-event-core' '--with-event-openssl' '--without-pcre-regex' '--with-event-
extra' '--without-event-pthreads'
event
event support => enabled

Indeed, there was a bug in confing.m4. LDFLAGS included -levent_pthreads with no 
regards to whether pthreads are enabled:

https://bitbucket.org/osmanov/pecl-
event/commits/5066112df50479ee6524209f2a196c5780488966

However, --with-event-openssl option shouldn't cause issues. Please check out 
current Git version. I'll package release, if everything is OK.
