"[17 Mar 11:49pm UTC] scott...@php.net AC_MSG_CHECKING([if iconv supports errno]) it's intentionally checking to see if iconv sets errno as well as returning -1. This has nothing to do with iconv not building on leopard." So what got fixed then? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-04-27 18:42:15] j...@php.net Fixed in all branches now, thanks Scott. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-04-27 18:35:33] j...@php.net Not fixed in PHP_5_2 -> re-opened and assigned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-04-27 17:49:59] scott...@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS. Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. --with-iconv=/opt/local not --with-iconv-dir this is only for xmlrpc and not for the regular iconv. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-17 23:49:46] scott...@php.net AC_MSG_CHECKING([if iconv supports errno]) it's intentionally checking to see if iconv sets errno as well as returning -1. This has nothing to do with iconv not building on leopard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-17 18:02:24] p2409 at hotmail dot com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47695&edit=1
