ID: 3386 Comment by: Hans-Theo.Bister@t-online.de Reported By: petr.husak@meiller.com Status: Closed Bug Type: Informix related Operating System: hpux 10.20 PHP Version: 4.0 Beta 3 Assigned To: afalout New Comment: This may help somebody who is not so much in the stuff (like me) If you have to struggle with Apache,Informix and PHP installation troubles, have a look at this install-solution wich solved my problems in september 2002 Thanks to Paul Gardiner again, who helped me in further informix-problems, i could adjust his script for the actuall versions of HP-UX and INFORMIX.

This will use the shared (.so) libraries, which is not a problem (unless you move the binary to another machine with a different Informix server or client version, in that case you should use the static libraries). If you need the static Informix libraries, copy them to a separate directory and add that directory to your $LDFLAGS when running configure for PHP and for Apache, this way the linker won't find the shared libraries and use the static ones. This is the way I build Apache/modphp4 because I have to distribute the binary to SVR4 Unix servers running different Informix server versions (7.21, 7.22, 7.23, 7.30 and 7.31).

For real this time...I hope. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-08-03 06:55:14] afalout@php.net I was examining an option to add described statemens to makefiles but after taking in account differences between CSDK, ESQL/C in different versions, I gave up. It seems that Informix spend half of there time renaming files in new versions. Just adding checkapi.o should work, but location of that file changes trough versions too. Then, I noted that there are simmilar problem caused and fixed the same way, that do not nececery relate to checkapi.o in error message. This information should be sufficient for users to resolve this issue. It should go to FAQ or manual or somewhere. Closed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-07-30 09:49:03] zak@php.net Has there been any progress on this bug? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-06-09 12:09:22] stas@cvs.php.net Actually, not close yet. It should be in "Assigned', not 'Feedback'... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
