PHP 4.0 Bug #2443: can no longer make static build

From: danny.heijl@cevi.be Operating system: RH 5.2 Linux PHP version: 4.0 Latest CVS (05/10/1999) PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure Bug description: can no longer make static build Is a static build of php4 no longer possible ? All extensions seem to get built with libtool and -fPIC and -DPIC options. I do not need or want that. I just want my old static build that worked fine until a couple of days ago. configure --with-informix now fails with this error : /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc -O2 -g -g -Wall -I/opt/informix/incl/esql -L/home/local/lib - lgd -L/opt/informix/lib -L/opt/informix/lib/esql -o libphp4.la -rpath /home/php/php4/libs -modul e -avoid-version -L/home/local/lib -lgd -L/opt/informix/lib -L/opt/informix/lib/esql -Wl,-rpath ,/home/local/lib stub.lo libphp_util.la -ldl -lm -lresolv -L/home/php/php4/ext/pcre/pcrelib -lp cre -lnsl -lcrypt -lgdbm -lgdbm -L/home/local/lib -lgd /opt/informix/lib/esql/libifsql.a /opt/i nformix/lib/libifasf.a /opt/informix/lib/esql/libifgen.a /opt/informix/lib/esql/libifos.a /opt/i nformix/lib/esql/libifgls.a -lgen -lgls -lm -ldl /opt/informix/lib/esql/checkapi.o /opt/informix /lib/esql/libifglx.a -L/opt/informix/lib -L/opt/informix/lib/esql -lpam -L/home/local/lib -l expat -lz libtool: link: cannot build libtool library `libphp4.la' from non-libtool objects: /opt/informix /lib/esql/libifsql.a /opt/informix/lib/libifasf.a /opt/informix/lib/esql/libifgen.a /opt/informi x/lib/esql/libifos.a /opt/informix/lib/esql/libifgls.a /opt/informix/lib/esql/checkapi.o /opt/in formix/lib/esql/libifglx.a make[2]: *** [libphp4.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/php/php4' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/php/php4' make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 Also, I now get these warnings from buildconf : buildconf: checking installation... buildconf: autoconf version 2.13 (ok) buildconf: automake version 1.4 (ok) buildconf: libtool version 1.3.3 (ok) buildconf: created or modified aclocal.m4 automake: ./libzend/Makefile.am: C++ source seen but CXX' not defined in configure.in' configure.in: 728: required file `./$PHP_OUTPUT_FILES.in' not found buildconf: created or modified configure buildconf: created or modified libzend/aclocal.m4 buildconf: created or modified libzend/configure buildconf: created or modified TSRM/aclocal.m4 buildconf: created or modified TSRM/configure Danny. ---
