Re: MAC OS X and DSOs

This behavior is mostly likely a result of the changes to the included system libraries in 10.3. The truth to the matter is now dlcompat is distributed with OS X (as of 10.3) so most of the library handling code Marko and I wrote probably is no longer necessary for future generations of OS X (please note this is untested). It is necessary though for those running 10.2 (and earlier), and there do seem to be a great many of them still. Looking at your change though, I don't believe it should cause much damage.

Hi guys, There seem to be some problems with loading shared libraries on the MAC OS X platform. It seems that ./configure on MAC OS X defines HAVE_LIBDL in php_config.h which causes the following code in zend.h not to be used: #elif defined(HAVE_MACH_O_DYLD_H)

# define DL_LOAD(libname)           zend_mh_bundle_load(libname)
# define DL_UNLOAD(handle)          zend_mh_bundle_unload(handle)
# define DL_FETCH_SYMBOL(h,s)       zend_mh_bundle_symbol(h,s)
# define DL_ERROR                   zend_mh_bundle_error
# define DL_HANDLE                  void *
# define ZEND_EXTENSIONS_SUPPORT    1

After testing this stuff quite a bit it seems that in order for DSO's to work correctly on MAC OS X they should be defined. I am thinking of changing the following code in zend.h: #if defined(HAVE_LIBDL) to #if defined(HAVE_LIBDL) && !defined(HAVE_MACH_O_DYLD_H) Anyone have additional insight on this?
