Hello, I tried to compiler php 4.1.1 on Red Hat Linux 7.1 as Apache module and found that configure script doesn't really work same everytime. When I used option --with-qtdom (As some others have found). Configure failed with message:
checking whether the C++ compiler (c++ -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local -L/usr/local -Wl,-rpath,/usr/kerberos/lib -L/usr/kerberos/lib -Wl,-rpath,/lib -L/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386/hotspot -L/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386/hotspot -Wl,-rpath,/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386/server -L/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386/server -Wl,-rpath,/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386/native_threads -L/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386/native_threads -Wl,-rpath,/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386 -L/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/src/libmcal -L/usr/src/libmcal -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/mysql -L/usr/lib/mysql -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/ssl/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/mnogosearch/lib -L/usr/local/mnogosearch/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/pgsql -L/usr/lib/pgsql -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/qt-2.3.0/lib -L/usr/lib/qt-2.3.0/lib) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables. Then I removed --with-qtdom option and configuration went without any problem. There was no permission problem as I was logged in as root. Qt was installed. Same kind of problem occurred when using --with-mcrypt. I downloaded and compiled libmcrypt-2.4.19.tar.gz and mcrypt-2.5.10.tar.gz in /usr/local/lib and ran ldconfig. But configure failed with error message "Sorry" nothing else. Frustrated I shut down computer. Next day I again tried to compile and this time configure found c++ compiler to be working and no problem with libmcrypt. I did nothing with computer as I am the only user using this system. Everything was successful. As I am only testing options I tried to compile php using option --enable-mailparse and --enable-php-streams. Php configure, build and install were successful but when I compiled Apache it resulted in so many undefined references to php_stream* functions. So I had to remove these options. Now Main problem I am facing is with -with-java option. Build and install were successful with this option but no libphp_java.so is created. Only libphp_java.a is created. So I am unable to access java code. I am using is jdk1.4 beta 1. (in /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0). Earlier I had to use only these options in php.ini to enable java support with php4.0.6. /////////////////////////////////////////////////// java.home=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0 extension_dir=/wwwroot/php/lib/php/20010901 java.class.path=/wwwroot/php/lib/php/php_java.jar extension=libphp_java.so // This file is missing /////////////////////////////////////////////////// I think it should be clearly written in configure (or manual) etc. which version of a library is required to enable its support in php. (as was case with libxml and ncurses, ming and many others). Version changes required were just minor e.g from libxml2-2.4.1 to libxml2-2.4.13. I don't know if configure script was not able to find these libraries and because of that saying that other version is required (Even when I explicitly provided paths and ran ldconfig). As I have wasted so much time to make it work. I some library support is deprecated then too it should be mentioned as I downloaded manual and it didn't mention that icap support is deprecated. Only after searching php net I found it. Also --with-Java option did not create libphp_java.so but .a. I wonder if configure has been changed to create (static lib).a file as php 4.0.6 created .so file. Could anyone please whey libphp_java.so file isn't build and what I have to write in php.ini to enable java support.
