#1298 [NoF->Opn]: need to use -taso with Netscape LDAP libs

ID: 1298 User updated by: long@kestrel.cc.ukans.edu Reported By: long@kestrel.cc.ukans.edu -Status: No Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Compaq Tru64 4.0F PK3 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: We are using version 3.0 of the Netscape Directory SDK for C with SSL support. I believe that at the time we installed it that it only came in the '-taso' version. If I were upgrading the LDAP SDK then I would of course try and obtain a non '-taso' version.

Exactly what version of Netscape LDAP libs does this happen with? And wouldn't it be better to get ones which are NOT compiled with -taso flag?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-17 17:48:38] long@kestrel.cc.ukans.edu LDFLAGS does not work and I cannot remember the exact reason why. Perhaps because LDFLAGS do not get used when cc is used to perform the linking or when ld is used to build shared objects? At any rate, for the last several PHP versions I've been using: LD='/usr/bin/ld -taso' CFLAGS='-taso' CXXFLAGS='-taso' CC='cc' CXX='cxx' CXXCPP='cxx -E' ./configure .... to work around this problem. Here is the description of the -taso option from the cc man page: -taso Directs the linker to load the executable file in the lower 31-bit addressable virtual address range. The -T and -D options to the ld command can also be used, respectively, to ensure that the text and data segments addresses are loaded into low memory. The -taso option, however, in addition to setting default addresses for text and data segments, also causes shared libraries linked outside the 31-bit address space to be appropriately relocated by the loader. If you specify -taso and also specify text and data segment addresses with -T and -D, those addresses override the -taso default addresses. The -taso option can be helpful when porting programs that assume address values can be stored in 32-bit variables (that is, programs that assume that pointers are the same length as int variables). And the reason this is required is because the particular version of the Netscape LDAP SDK that we downloaded and installed was built using the -taso option. Thus anything linking to it also has to use -taso. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-17 17:41:08] sniper@php.net Does this work: LDFLAGS="-taso" ./configure <and your options here> (with fresh sources!) I would think this option needs to be on for all of the build? (What is it anyway? Any URL explaining it?) --Jani ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-17 17:30:04] long@kestrel.cc.ukans.edu reopened for latest version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
