Bug #17362 Updated: can't open conftest.out

ID: 17362 Updated by: fryderyk@gjpoland.com.pl Reported By: mccaffityr@epg.lewis.army.mil Status: Closed Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Solaris8 and Solaris7 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: I had the same problem with compilation on Solaris8 intel. Problem disappeared after installing libtool 1.4 from www.sunfreeware.com Regards Fryderyk Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-13 07:13:23] marsel.moissis@intrasoft-intl.com I have experienced exactly the same problem, but according to your comments and looking in the variables configured (within config_vars.mk file) for a correct installation of PHP 4.2.0, I concluded the following. Note that my environment is Solaris 8 (SunOS5.8), have installed gcc 3.0.3 and autoconf 2.53, and I want to install PHP 4.2.1. - At configuration, prefix the "./configure <my-options>" command with C compiler (CC) and C pre-processor (CPP) flags as below, CC=gcc CPP="gcc -E" ./configure <my-options> Congigure will set C compiler and pre-processor as above, and no more "can't open conftest.out" will appear. Then "make" will not produce any errors and installation of PHP 4.2.1 will be smooth and simple. - I realised (looking in configure code) that file "conftest.out" is generated and manipulated by a program code in C called "conftest.c". Since compilation and run of the above code in done during configuration, there is an obvious connection between the code and the set C compiler. - Since configure, for some reason, cannot locate the right compiler, I force gcc by prefixing the configure command with the required compiler flags (as suggested by mccaffityr). I hope this helps to make a smooth installation of PHP 4.2.1. Regards Marsel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-22 11:47:35] mccaffityr@epg.lewis.army.mil This seems a little unorthodox, but I have it working with autoconf 2.53, I was able to reproduce this on several systems. [step 1] ./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.24 --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-bz2=/usr/local/bin --with-gd=/usr/local/lib --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --enable-track-vars --enable-ftp This will error out with the original error. [step 2] rm configure && ./buildconf This will error out with basically the same error. [step 3] export CC=gcc ./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.24 --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-bz2=/usr/local/bin --with-gd=/usr/local/lib --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --enable-track-vars --enable-ftp Then it works OK. I tried just doing the export CC=gcc first, but that doesn't seem to help. This seems a little weird to me, but I'm happy, it appears to be working now. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-22 11:24:16] mccaffityr@epg.lewis.army.mil I still got the same error.
