Bug #2903 explanations

I don't have CVS access so couldn't post this through bugs.php.net -- hopefully this can help someone :-) [ the following applies to bug 2903 -- compiling PHP w/ Apache and Informix on AIX ] There seems to be some odd behaviour with the __STDC__ macro directive in the standard AIX xlC cc compiler. You can also get it to build correctly by placing: #define __OLD__STDC__ __STDC__ #undef __STDC__ #define __STDC__ 1 before the Informix #include <sqlhdr.h> include set, and #undef __STDC__ #define __STDC__ __OLD__STDC__ after it. This is kludgy, but it works. Like yours, you have to do this to the .c file, not the .ec file. - - - As for the second issue, modify the Apache Makefile in the src directory and add the following to the EXTRA_LIBS line: EXTRA_LIBS=-L/informix/lib/tools -l4gsh604 -lld You may need to change the 4gsh604 line to reflect your version of Informix -- just ls $INFORMIXDIR/lib/tools/4gsh*a and you should see what to do. This is required because AIX doesn't require you to resolve external symbols when compiling a library -- and so it fails to store the other libraries used during library linking.
