From: mnerone@idworld.net Operating system: RedHat Linux 7.0 PHP version: 4.0.2 PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure Bug description: Failure to compile using --with-java and kaffe 1.0.6 Using --with-java and kaffe 1.0.6, as provided on disc 2 with RedHat 7.0, here are the last few lines of my failed compile: ========================================================= make[2]: Entering directory `/home/mnerone/work/php-4.0.2/ext/java' make[3]: Entering directory `/home/mnerone/work/php-4.0.2/ext/java' /bin/sh /home/mnerone/work/php-4.0.2/libtool --silent --mode=compile gcc -I. -I/home/mnerone/work/php-4.0.2/ext/java -I/home/mnerone/work/php-4.0.2 -I/home/mnerone/work/php-4.0.2/main -I/usr/local/apache/include -I/home/mnerone/work/php-4.0.2/Zend -I/home/mnerone/work/php-4.0.2 -I/usr/include/mysql -I/home/mnerone/work/php-4.0.2/ext/xml/expat/xmltok -I/home/mnerone/work/php-4.0.2/ext/xml/expat/xmlparse -I/usr/include/kaffe -DXML_BYTE_ORDER=12 -g -O2 -DKAFFE '-DJAVALIB="/libkaffevm.so"' -c java.c && touch java.slo /home/mnerone/work/php-4.0.2/build/shtool mkdir -p net/php javac net/php/reflect.java /usr/bin/jar cf php_java.jar net/php/*.class net/php/*.properties net/php/*.class: no such file or directory make[3]: *** [php_java.jar] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/mnerone/work/php-4.0.2/ext/java' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mnerone/work/php-4.0.2/ext/java' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mnerone/work/php-4.0.2/ext' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 ======================================================= The compilation bug is easily rectified by editing ext/java/Makefile and removing the line that reads: @test ! -f reflect.class || mv reflect.class net/php # bug in KJC javac Apparently, this was a work around for a bug in kaffe, but the bug in kaffe (at least in RedHat 7.0's dist) seems to be gone, and the workaround, in fact, BREAKS the compilation. A version check for kaffe may be needed to determine whether the workaround needs to be applied or not. Hope this helps. I love PHP (but also Perl and Python, to be honest - I pretty much a big fan of any language beginning with a "P" :D). Mike Nerone -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7091&edit=1
