Bug #1624: Invalid argument to ld (-Wl,-rpath,...)

From: twp20@cam.ac.uk Operating system: RedHat Linux 6.0/Kernel 2.2.10 PHP version: 3.0.10 PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure Bug description: Invalid argument to ld (-Wl,-rpath,...) PHP configuration: ./configure --with-shared-apache=../apache-1.3.6 --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-gd --enable-track-vars --without-pcre-regex (configures, makes, and installs okay) Apache 1.3.6 configuration: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a --enable-module=php3 --enable-shared=max Configures okay, but ld dies on make with error 'Invalid option -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql'. Explanation: Default libphp3.module contains: Name: php3_module ConfigStart RULE_WANTHSREGEX=yes LIBS="-Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lpam -lm -ldl -lcrypt -lnsl -lresolv $LIBS -lgdbm -lgd -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient" RULE_HIDE=yes ConfigEnd When compiling Apache $LIBS gets passed to ld. ld doesn't understand the -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql option and dies. Quick fix is modify libphp3.module to be: Name: php3_module ConfigStart RULE_WANTHSREGEX=yes CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql" LIBS="-lpam -lm -ldl -lcrypt -lnsl -lresolv $LIBS -lgdbm -lgd -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient" RULE_HIDE=yes ConfigEnd This ensures that -Wl,-rpath,... is only passed to gcc, and is not passed to ld. Proper fix: modify configure script to generate libphp3.module as above. N.B. I don't have much experience developing under Unix so I may be barking up the wrong tree... Regards, Tom
