Re: Build PHP 4.2.1 on OS X: "Multiple Definitions"

The entropy.ch site has a brief mention of building php 4.2.x way down at the bottom of the page: http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/#build As far as what I did, I've gotten in the habit of writing shell scripts with the configuration command and comments listing all the steps I took. So here is what I have for php 4.1.2. I originally had more steps in here to deal with compiling in openbase support, which required the buildconf step and automake. Caveat lector: This worked for me, with php 4.1.2 and osx 10.1.3. I'm not an expert at this and can't guarantee that it won't just waste your time... <script> #! /bin/tcsh # # config.args_I_used # # pre 1. installed automake-1.4 from gnu (configure, make, make check, make install)

#        (I wouldn't think you'd need this unless you need to run the buildconf step)

# pre 2. fetch libtool-1.3.5 patch from fink

#        (http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/porting/libtool.php, also a good, informative read)
# pre 3. installed libtool-1.3.5 from gnu (apply patch, configure, make, make check, make install)

# # 1. unpack both php 4.0.6 and 4.1.2 source into separate directories

#    a. copy this config script into both source directories

# # 2. cd 4.0.6

#    a. ./buildconf (you probably don't need this step)
#    b. run this configure script (tcsh config.php.4.1.2-osx-generic)

# # 3. cd 4.1.2

#    a. copy configure, ltconfig, ltmain.sh from 4.0.6 source directory
#    b. run this configure script
#    c. copy libtool from 4.0.6

# # 4. in libtool verify existence of '-flat_namespace' after the $CC in the 'archive_cmds=' line # 5. make, make install setenv LDFLAGS '-flat_namespace' ./configure \

Steve, I first tried the instruction in php.net's "INSTALL" document, and then the one from the book "Professional PHP4", which is specific to OS X. I've looked at the hints on developer.apple.com, but they're somewhat outdated (for PHP 4.0.6), they tell me to modify a "ltconfig" file, but I have no such beast. It says I need to enter something like this: archive_cmds='$CC -force_flat_namespace ... Sounds like it has something to do with the namespace problem you mentioned... but I can't find such a file. AFAICS the entropy.ch site only offers a pre-built PHP module, but I need FrontBase support, so (I guess) I have to build my own... A call to ./buildconf keeps telling me I have no "automake"; might that be the problem? I know where I can D/L the source for it, but I have no clue how to compile _that_ again... sigh... I would be really thankful for your recipe, maybe it gets me going. TIA, Frank+++
