[PHP4] Problem with old versions of 'ar'

Just a FYI. This is more an issue with libtool than with PHP4, but it does effect PHP4. Older versions of 'ar' limit names to 14 or so chars. That's no real big deal, since the archives are OK, it's just that if you add 'this_is_a_really_long_function.o' to the archive, that name will be truncated. Sooooo when you 'ar x' it out, what you will get in return is a file called something like 'this_is_a_reall'. Note the lack of .o This means when libtools then creates a big archive from all the object files it's extracted from the archives, _it only adds those with a .o or .lo extension_! This means quite a few Zend functions, for example, aren't loaded into libphp4.a and any links when compiling fail. Anyone know who to contact @ Gnu about this? Maybe another option to libtool that bypasses the scan for .o/.lo ?? -- =========================================================================== Jim Jagielski [|] jim@jaguNET.com [|] http://www.jaguNET.com/ "Are you suggesting coconuts migrate??"
