#44905 [Asn]: PHP 5.2.6 fails to load PostgreSQL related libraries

ID: 44905 Updated by: pajoye@php.net Reported By: ionut dot stan at yahoo dot com Status: Assigned Bug Type: Dynamic loading Operating System: Windows XP professional 64bit PHP Version: 5.2.6 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: "How difficult can it be to test the most basic things, like starting php, before making a release? Good grief. If you can't do the simple things why do you think people should trust you with the complex things?" How difficult it is to test the RC? How difficult it is to report issues before the stable release instead of waiting the final day? That being said, we do run php and the tests suite before any release. But as some dlls are in the path, I did not detect that the new version (we upgraded libpq in 5.2.6, different version than with 5.2.5) was not static by default. Given the time we had to pack this release, I'm actually very happy that only this error remains (and have an easy work around).

I got the same error with vc6 than the ones I got using 8.3.1. Linker error and struct redefinitionfo addrinfo and sockaddr_storage. If you succeeded to compile it using VC6 (or VC2k5:) please let us know how. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-13 21:23:35] dnd at yandex dot ru 8.3.1 do not support VC6 anymore, while 8.2.7 does support it fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
