ID: 30340 Comment by: will_jetlabs at hotmail dot com Reported By: orlowscy at hotpop dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: RedHat 7.2 PHP Version: 4.3.9 New Comment:
Upgrading from 4.3.2, I had the same problem (I have compiled PHP many times with a similar procedure in the past and this is the first time it's done this to me). After piling through the generated files and config/ build outputs, noticed that config.sub was unhappy during the configure stage - my machine host type was not being added to the command like it is supposed to be. Adding the following at the end of my configure command: `/bin/sh config.guess` (this forces the approprate host to be given to config.sub) - presumably this propagates down to the part that deals with libtool so that it is aware that the system can cope with shared libraries. Check your configure output for any errors to do with config.sub (it came up quite early - possibly the first line output from ./configure) - if you have one, try appending your host type string (either use the output config.guess or just type it in if you know what it should be) and see if that helps. Why I now need to do this, I don't know, but apparently, it's not a bug ;-) William Adjei Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-14 17:29:16] orlowscy at hotpop dot com [EMAIL PROTECTED] thank you for your interest in my problem. On http://diamond.cympak.com/php4/ you can see 3 files: configure-options configure-output libtool I downgraded apache to 2.0.44 *according to some helps on google apache 2.0.44 was supposed to work with PHP 4.3.x. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-13 23:03:25] [EMAIL PROTECTED] If the generated libtool script has build_libtool_libs=no PHP can't build shared libraries. I suggest you look at the configure output to see why libtool is refusing to support shared libraries, or upload it somewhere and I'll look. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-12 20:45:37] scymerman at comcast dot net Derick, What constitutes a bug to you? Just so you know where I’m coming from, my definition of a bug is not an issue with software that has not been corrected nor has a solution to get around it. I don’t know if for some weird reason you are not supporting older RH Versions or what. I’m also having the same exact problem and do not know where to go from here. From reading what Slawomir has posted, it seems like this is also an issue with older versions of php. I’m just looking for some clarification on where I should go in regards to the say issue. Thanks. -Scott ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-12 15:31:36] orlowscy at hotpop dot com I have downgraded PHP to 4.3.0 configured apache 2.0.44 : ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 \ --enable-so configured older php 4.3.0: ./configure \ --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \ --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \ --prefix=/usr/local/apache2/php \ --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache2/php unfortunately libphp4.so still was not created but this time libphp4.a was created even directive --with-apxs2 was used to create DSO library. It does not make sense - to compile static library I have to have compiled apache - (apxs from apache was used). To use static library apache would have to be compiled. So it is vicious circle. Maybe even older PHP 4.2 would produce libphp4.so - do anybody have any suggestions ???? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-09 15:42:33] [EMAIL PROTECTED] . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
