Bug #12494: ./configure: "-lc-client" not in EXTRA_LIBS

From: brendanb@missiondata.net Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Bug description: ./configure: "-lc-client" not in EXTRA_LIBS For some reason, "-lc-client" disappears from $LIBS before it has a chance to get copied onto $EXTRA_LIBS. As a result, this produces the famous "undefined symbol: mxdriver" error that you've been having problems with in the past. Yes, I have the library file. Yes, I've included the --with-imap switch. Yes, I've spend close to 5 hours on this problem. And no, I'm not a dumbass. Despite popular opinion among the PHP developers, this is --NOT-- a user configuration error! This --IS-- a bug! There is a problem somewhere in the ./configure program. Somewhere between the LIBS statement for c-client (line 22880) and the EXTRA_LIBS = LIBS statement (line 55067), the -lc-client statement disappears or (more possibly) the statement was never there in the first place. However, all of the Kerberos switchs DO exist, such as "-lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err". My guess: Either there is a missing c-client case block near line 22679-22786 and/or c-client is not included if the user does NOT use the --with-imap-ssl switch (which is my case). Being a GNU developer myself, I can understand the need to dismiss most "bugs" as user error, but I can assure you that this is not the case.
