Bug #17604 Updated: Apache 2/MySQL/PHP4/Sablotron Will not compile

ID: 17604 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: kevin@kevinfries.com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Solaris 8 IA PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Kevin, please try what Pavel suggested: do 'ldd sablotcmd' to see what libraries is linked with it. And add the extra libs to LDFLAGS before you run configure for PHP. e.g. LDFLAGS="-lstdc++" ./configure <and your options..> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-16 15:26:52] kevin@kevinfries.com Pavel, My default tools are the gnu tools: bash-2.05$ which gcc --version 3.0.1 bash-2.05$ which ld --version GNU ld 2.11.2 Copyright 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Kevin Fries ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-16 05:34:03] pavel@gingerall.cz It looks like traditional problem with linking the C++ library (what Sablotron is) and C code. This is rather the autoconf/libtool issue then sablotron's one. Sablotron itself doesn't require any other librraies then expat and libjs (when enabled, what is not the problem discussed). An issue usually is, that gnu linker links additional 'magic' libraries to the executable file (not to the library file). This is typically named like libstdc++. Problem is, that Sablotron can not guess these libraries, since they depend on the system and compiler used. This is a known issue related to configuration tools, read libtool documentation and FAQs. It is possible to check, waht libraries are linked to working sabcmd (use something like ldd from GNU's binutils) and set LDFLAGS='-lsomething' when configuring PHP. Conclusion: may be I'm wrong, but problem described looks like one we meet from time to time. It is usually on platforms, where gnu tools are not the default (namely gnu ld is not the default linker). If I could do anything to kill this problem, I'd do it, but there are many people solving this problem with many libraries :( The best solution (of bad ones) is to maintain good README file and list libraries needed for different platforms. We'd like to do it in our README, but we usually do not get the solution and platform set, we can use is limited. Pavel (Sablotron maintainer) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-15 23:09:48] sniper@php.net This sounds like some libraries are missing. There isn't much we can do about it unless sablot gets some 'sablot-config' script which tells what libraries are needed to link with it.. Please report this to the sablotron authors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-05 20:27:36] kevin@kevinfries.com Sablotron version 0.90 All I did was a standard: ./configure make make install Nothing special ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-05 18:18:51] sniper@php.net What version of sablotron is that? And how did you configure it? --Jani ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
