#21526 [Bgs]: Linker failure - ".

ID: 21526 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: lhecking@nmrc.ucc.ie Status: Bogus Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: Solaris 7/8 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: It was like that, but it was too inflexible and slow, that's why we have a new build system that is much faster, but produces one big line on which sed chokes... and if that's the only problem I really want to life with it. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-09 10:03:24] lhecking@nmrc.ucc.ie sed! Now this mkaes sense ... GNU sed works fine, thanks. However, I still think it should be possible to build software like php with native tools, and intermediate libraries would be the way to go. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-08 14:11:28] derick@php.net Due to a bug in the installed sed on your system the build fails. Install GNU sed and it should be okay. Thank you for your interest in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-08 14:09:00] lhecking@nmrc.ucc.ie Thumbs down for the new build system ... It is impossible to get php 4.3.0 compiled on Solaris 7 and 8. Some program in the chain craps out with "Output line too long.", and I have reason to believe it's the Solaris linker. I think the problem is that all object files are passed to the linker directly on the command line. The solution to the problem (IMHO) is to create intermediate libraries, because the number of objects linked into the final .so depends on the number of configured extensions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21526&edit=1
