#35465 [Com]: link error "Text relocation remains"

ID: 35465 Comment by: php at fiddaman dot net Reported By: rusty at socrates dot berkeley dot edu Status: Open Bug Type: Compile Failure Operating System: solaris 9 PHP Version: 5.1.1 Assigned To: sniper New Comment: I'm seeing the problem with the IMAP extension which uses the UW IMAP toolkit. Now this toolkit never compiles as a shared object (see http://www.washington.edu/imap/IMAP-FAQs/#6.3) If Rusty's unusual use of static mysql libraries is a problem, look at the IMAP extension.

It appears to be a bug in the libtool that you're now using. It may not be a bug in the PHP code but it certainly is a bug in the PHP *distribution*. I've wiped and re-extracted the tar files and copied over the libtool.m4 from 5.0.5 to 5.1.1 and am recompiling right now. I'll add a comment when it finishes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-11-30 10:34:48] tony2001@php.net Joe, I agree, this is most likely not PHP issue, but I'm still able to reproduce it on Solaris 8 and -fPIC doesn't help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-11-30 09:46:26] jorton@php.net This is the expected failure from trying to link non-PIC code into a shared library on most platforms. If you really insist on using a static MySQL library you must rebuild it with -fPIC in CFLAGS. If it worked previously I'd guess it was only because the static libmysql.a wasn't being found. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-11-29 23:35:03] rusty at socrates dot berkeley dot edu Yes, almost all of my add-on libraries are .a files because long ago I used to have problem with .so ones. Plus, I like to find out about any missing symbols at compile time, not run time, which was part of the problem I used to have. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-11-29 22:58:14] sniper@php.net See also bug #35475 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
