PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure
Bug description: --with-iconv configure option always fails in Leopard
Description:
------------
Many people report problems compiling PHP on Leopard due to a libiconv
issue.
This may be due to the small C test programme in ./configure.
It calls open_conv with two const * char arguments (correct), but these
are NOT valid charsets to iconv (incorrect). This then breaks ./configure.
AFAIK from the libiconv documentation, the PHP ./configure call is
incorrect: this function expects two valid charset arguments. (You can see
a list of valid arguments by running iconv -l).
Changing the call to eg.:
cd = open_conv("UTF-8","ISO-8859-1")
returns a valid iconv_t number (non-negative), and configure can then
continue setting up for Makefile compile.
Reproduce code:
---------------
In ./configure, search for open_iconv:
cd = open_iconv("*** blah blah ***","*** blah blah ***")
Expected result:
----------------
This call fails ie. cd return value is negative. ./configure considers
this a libiconv fail, and does not continue.
The expected result is correct ie. -1, however this test should return a
positive number and allow ./configure to continue.
Changing the two parameters in the call to open_iconv to valid charsets
(see list with ./iconv -l) returns a valid translaction number (type
iconv_t). This would then allow ./configure to continue.
