Bug #70158 [Opn]: Building with static imap fails

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70158&edit=1 ID: 70158 Updated by: ab@php.net Reported by: cmb@php.net Summary: Building with static imap fails Status: Open Type: Bug Package: IMAP related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 7.0Git-2015-07-28 (Git) Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Hi Christoph, yeah, imap is never built static on Windows. And, the same c-client is used unchanged through all the PHP versions. As far as I see, c-client uses the same implementation by Mark Crispin. In PHP it already contains some patches. I just went through winlibs and there are several other libs using at least openlog/syslog - libsasl, openldap, net-snmp, postgresql. Without going much into detail what I previously thought - we could export those symbols in PHP and patch c-client. But probably it's too much given other libs will possibly need to be patched and there's no good possibility to evaluate the impacts. With the ext/imap case I would rather disable the static building (eq force to be shared always, like intl or fileinfo). It's compiled shared in the official releases (snapshot build). Also for security reasons as c-client is dead. Thanks.

This happens with the latest deps[1], but most likely also with self compiled c-client libs. The cause is that openlog(), syslog() and flock() are defined by imap's[2] as well as PHP's[3] Unix compat layer for Windows.
