#49267 [Com]: Linking fails for iconv: "Undefined symbols: _libiconv"

ID: 49267 Comment by: iongion at yahoo dot com Reported By: s dot rost at ewerk dot com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard PHP Version: 5.3, 6 (2009-08-18) Assigned To: scottmac New Comment: My system is a SNOW LEOPARD 10.6.2 I think we have a final solution. All these problems are generated because the Makefile is confused by the existence of multiple iconv library installations, but not only this. Fixing iconv (please note that these are pretty subjective, but they are a good start) Needed elements: 1) gettext - http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.17.tar.gz 2) iconv - http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.13.1.tar.gz Unpack both libraries, before running configure, prepare your environment as follows: (i assume you have latest xcode) export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6; export CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp"; export CCFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe"; export CXXFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe" LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -bind_at_load" and then run configure in gettext, leave prefix as it is, make & make install; NOW, building iconv will replace existing iconv from apple(it shouldn't break anything) ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-static then: make sudo make install This did it, what i managed to achieve: 1) Replace php 5.3.0 that comes with Snow Leopard, with php 5.3.1 2) Replace php 5.3.0 that comes with Snow Leopard, with php 5.2.12 Managed to install pecl extensions, apc, xdebug, uploadprogress, ming I am now on php 5.2.12 as i do drupal development and there are some module issues with php 5.3, but you could easily replace Snow Leo's php 5.3.0 with 5.3.1 and have your own pecl extensions/features enables Bellow are build scripts that i use to compile php 5.3.1 and php 5.2.12 1) 5.2.12 -> http://dpaste.com/hold/140511/ 2) 5.3.1 -> http://dpaste.com/hold/140512/ Good luck and hopefully php will get some better less confused build scripts. This the link that made me think and search more http://blog.yimingliu.com/2009/02/24/missing-library-symbols-while-compiling-php-528/ I have a little more than 0 knowledge of unix build tools, make, conf, gcc ... i am a php developer, excuse the non-initiated terms.
