PHP 4.0 Bug #7003 Updated: configure not setting -L for extras (like png, tiff, etc.)

ID: 7003 Updated by: sr Reported By: swenson@heronetwork.com Status: Feedback Bug Type: Compile Problem Assigned To: Comments: Hmm, the bug which was fixed should only occur if you don't say --with-gd at all (gd is (still) enabled by default), so maybe it's another one. Can you test the latest snapshot (only download and copy the configure line from your Makefile and try that, you don't need to apply any OpenBSD patches (or even compile the thing ;-) ) )? 4.0.3 should be released very soon, so maybe it is possible to fix this bug (if it isn't already fixed) before the release. Thank you. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-05 00:33:15] swenson@heronetwork.com You are correct. I was only using '--with-gd'. After changing the OpenBSD's /usr/ports/www/php4/Makefile to also use '--with-gd=${PREFIX}' the conifiguration then correctly found all the libraries for png & tiff. I have not tried the latest CVS archive for the OpenBSD install since the patch files etc are pretty specific to the version in the ftp controls. In this case the php-4.0.2.tar.gz archive. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-05 00:02:59] sr@php.net Did you use --with-gd(=...)? There was a problem in the configure script if you used the "default" gd configure, i.e. didn't say --with-gd. Please try the latest CVS (or snapshot available from http://snaps.php.net/ ) and give us feedback, if the bug still exists. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-04 01:15:11] swenson@heronetwork.com After unpacking the distribution running ./configure with any of these options: --with-png-dir[=DIR] --with-tiff-dir[=DIR] --with-mm[=DIR] The configure script is failing to find libgd, libpng, etc. After examining the configure script and the config.log I found that for these options: --with-ds-dir[=DIR] --with-jpeg-dir[=DIR] The $LIBS variable is getting properly set to "-L[DIR] -l<option>". But, for the above options (and a few more I think) the $LIBS variable is only getting set to "-l<option>". So when configure attempts to confirm the option is present it 'ld' can not find the library and the option is not activated. The easiest work around is to copy the apropriate libs into /usr/lib temporarily for the compile. Another work around is to edit the configure script and find all the places '[=DIR]' is not getting included and adding the '-L' option to the $LIBS variable. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7003
