Bug #14975: Build/libtool will not use static libraries

From: djm@mcmahons.com Operating system: RedHat Linux 6.2 PHP version: 4.1.1 PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure Bug description: Build/libtool will not use static libraries There seems to have been a change in libtool between 4.0.6 and 4.1.x (this is happening in both 4.1.x releases so far). I compile in ldap, but remove the shared objects to be sure that it uses the static (.a) library. Up until 4.0.6 this worked. Now I get "libldap.so: No such file or directory" errors. ldap is not the only one. There are several external libraries that I also remove the shared objects to force it to link with static (.a) libs. All of these report the same problem when I build php with them. For whatever reason it WANTS to use libldap.so despite the existence of libldap.a. The Ldap example: $./configure \ --with-apxs=/usr1/apache/bin/apxs \ --with-ldap=shared,/usr1/openldap-2.0.18 $ make . . . /bin/sh /usr1/php-4.1.1/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -I. -I/usr1/php-4.1.1/ext/ldap -I/usr1/php-4.1.1/main -I/usr1/php-4.1.1 -I/usr1/tempinstall/apache/include -I/usr1/php-4.1.1/Zend -I/usr1/openldap-2.0.18/include -I/usr1/php-4.1.1/ext/mysql/libmysql -I/usr1/php-4.1.1/ext/xml/expat -DLINUX=22 -DMOD_SSL=208105 -D USE_HSREGEX -DEAPI -DEAPI_MM -DUSE_EXPAT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS =64 -I/usr1/php-4.1.1/TSRM -O6 -mpentiumpro -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -prefer-pic -o ldap.la -avoid-version -module -rpath /usr1/php-4.1.1/modules ldap.lo -R/usr1/openldap-2.0.18/lib -L/usr1/openldap-2.0.18/lib -lldap - R/usr1/openldap-2.0.18/lib -L/usr1/openldap-2.0.18/lib -llber gcc: /usr1/openldap-2.0.18/lib/.libs/libldap.so: No such file or directory gcc: /usr1/openldap-2.0.18/lib/.libs/liblber.so: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [ldap.la] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr1/php-4.1.1/ext/ldap' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr1/php-4.1.1/ext/ldap' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr1/php-4.1.1/ext' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 $ -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=14975&edit=1
