#39122 [Opn]: configure fails on binay distributions

ID: 39122 User updated by: zaphod at tdl dot com Reported By: zaphod at tdl dot com Status: Open Bug Type: *Compile Issues Operating System: linux PHP Version: 5.1.6 New Comment: Description: ------------ configure fails on modern linux systems with binary distributions of mysql that use gcc. On such systems, all programs that link against mysql librares also need to link against libmygcc when built under gcc. Reproduce code: --------------- configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql yup that's it. Expected result: ---------------- Expected result is for configure to complete. Actual result: -------------- Actual result is the following checks fail checking for mysql_close in -l$MYSQL_LIBNAME Checking for mysql_error in -l$MYSQL_LIBNAME They fail because configure won't link against libmygcc when linking against libmysqlclient in this circumstance. To get past this, i need to do the following Replace the line in both of those checks LIBS="-l$MYSQL_LIBNAME $LIBS " with LIBS="-l$MYSQL_LIBNAME $LIBS -lmygcc" Additionally i then have to append -lmygcc to MYSQL_LIBS and EXTRA_LIBS in the makefile AFTER configure completes to get a working build. Knowing this, you should be able to make configure check for libmygcc, and link against that after testing to see if it's required.
