#4544 [Opn->]: Incompatiblility with latest (3.0) version of PDFlib

ID: 4544 Updated by: hholzgra@php.net Reported By: terry@terrym.com -Status: Open +Status: Won\'t fix Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Linux, Red Hat 5.2 PHP Version: 3.0.16 New Comment: We are sorry, but can not support PHP 3 related problems anymore. Momentum is gathering for PHP 5, and we think supporting PHP 3 will lead to a waste of resources which we want to put into getting PHP 5 ready. Ofcourse PHP 4 will will continue to be supported for the forseeable future. works in php 4 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-05-22 10:21:15] terry@terrym.com Aparently the PHP code relating to PDFlib is only current to version 2.x of PDFlib, and will not work with PDFlib 3.0. configure stops with: ... checking whether to include pdflib support... yes ... checking for PDF_new in -lpdf ... no configure: error: Check if zlib.... (yes it finds all that stuff). All references to PDFlib that mention version, all refference version 2.0. Also: nm /usr/local/lib/libpdf.so.0.0.0 | grep PDF_new 00009480 T PDF_new 000094b0 T PDF_new2 So there infact seems to be two versions of PDF_new in the lib? There are also symlinks: libpdf.so and libpdf.so.0 as well as libpdf.a and libpdf.la. I will proceed to take a look at this, though I'm not sure where to start?
