Bug #12399 Updated: Linking against OS X port of libdl causes problems

ID: 12399 Updated by: sniper Reported By: halim@onemain.com Old Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: MacOSX PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Please check this instructions: http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/#build Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-26 09:44:49] halim@onemain.com Just to clarify, libdl for OS X is a separate library, not included with the OS, that provides the standard dlopen API to OS X software. It is part of a package called dlcompat. This bug is not at all a bug with dlcompat/libdl, just with the problem that PHP includes the dlopen function from both libdl and Apache's built-in dlopen that is enabled on the OS X port. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-26 09:40:46] halim@onemain.com When compiling PHP under Mac OS X, you currently must move the OS X port of libdl to libdl.a.old and libdl.dylib.old to prevent PHP from using them. Apache on Darwin/OS X already defines it's own version of the dlopen functions, and if PHP links against the libdl from the OS X dlcompat library, Apache will fail to run, complaining about multiple definitions of dlopen. This may be more of an Apache issue than a PHP issue? I haven't tried compiling Apache yet using dlcompat's libdl instead of it's built-in dlopen stuff, but I might try that just to see if it works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12399&edit=1
