This patchset contains a sort-of working PHP package. Unfortunately, the build fails in a way that I have been unable to fix when the '--with-apxs2' configure flag is turned on to build the mod_php Apache httpd module.
Here is the build output at the point of failure: /gnu/store/nx4zd42igyb7ghmv4mxv6ncg8wr7ypa1-bash-4.3.33/bin/bash /tmp/nix-build-php-5.6.3.drv-14/php-5.6.3/libtool --silent --preserve-dup-deps --mode=link /tmp/nix-build-php-5.6.3.drv-14/php-5.6.3/meta_ccld -DPHP_ATOM_INC -I/tmp/nix-build-php-5.6.3.drv-14/php-5.6.3/include -I/tmp/nix-build-php-5.6.3.drv-14/php-5.6.3/main -I/tmp/nix-build-php-5.6.3.drv-14/php-5.6.3 -I/tmp/nix-build-php-5.6.3.drv-14/php-5.6.3/ext/date/lib -I/tmp/nix-build-php-5.6.3.drv-14/php-5.6.3/ext/ereg/regex -I/gnu/store/dng0rvcw4264k0r9fp7618bxsh20bi9v-libxml2-2.9.0/include/libxml2 -I/tmp/nix-build-php-5.6.3.drv-14/php-5.6.3/ext/sqlite3/libsqlite -I/tmp/nix-build-php-5.6.3.drv-14/php-5.6.3/TSRM -I/tmp/nix-build-php-5.6.3.drv-14/php-5.6.3/Zend -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include -g -O2 -fvisibility=hidden -pthread -DZTS -o ext/opcache/opcache.la -export-dynamic -avoid-version -prefer-pic -module -rpath /tmp/nix-build-php-5.6.3.drv-14/php-5.6.3/modules -avoid-version -module -L/gnu/store/dng0rvcw4264k0r9fp7618bxsh20bi9v-libxml2-2.9.0/lib ext/opcache/ZendAccelerator.lo ext/opcache/zend_accelerator_blacklist.lo ext/opcache/zend_accelerator_debug.lo ext/opcache/zend_accelerator_hash.lo ext/opcache/zend_accelerator_module.lo ext/opcache/zend_persist.lo ext/opcache/zend_persist_calc.lo ext/opcache/zend_shared_alloc.lo ext/opcache/zend_accelerator_util_funcs.lo ext/opcache/shared_alloc_shm.lo ext/opcache/shared_alloc_mmap.lo ext/opcache/shared_alloc_posix.lo ext/opcache/Optimizer/zend_optimizer.lo ld: ext/opcache/.libs/ZendAccelerator.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.text' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC ext/opcache/.libs/ZendAccelerator.o: error adding symbols: Bad value collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status The first patch contains a simple patch that could be applied right now that fixes the broken 'apxs' program in httpd. The second is the current state of php. Help wanted! Thanks! -- David Thompson Web Developer - Free Software Foundation - http://fsf.org GPG Key: 0FF1D807 Support the FSF: https://fsf.org/donate
