[1] <https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-07-01 15:04:25] cmb@php.net According to a StackOverflow answer, .so is in use as of HP-UX 11.20. According to Wikipedia[2] HP-UX 11.20 has been released in 2001. If both statements are true, we certainly could simply change the extension without fallback.

HP-UX 11.31 now uses .so extension for shared libraries. If the configure script is used on HP-UX 11.31, it will not find the shared libraries because it is always looking for the .sl extension. The configure script will have to test what version of hpux is being used in order to set the configure shlib suffix name variables correctly. Test script: --------------- Snip from configure: *hpux*) SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME=sl SHLIB_DL_SUFFIX_NAME=sl I changed to this to get it to work: *hpux*) SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME=so SHLIB_DL_SUFFIX_NAME=so ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52408&edit=1
