Hi folks, System is RedHat 7.2 with kernel 2.4.9-34, glibc 2.2.4.
Trying to build PHP 4.4.4 with Postgres 8.1.4 and am having some issues. As I will need to build this on a fairly wide variety of platforms, I am reducing my build and maintenance complexity by only wanting to use the Postgres client library as a static lib. My configure line for this test: make distclean; ./configure \ --prefix=$HOME/php_test \ --with-xsl=/tools/libxslt \ --with-openssl=/tools/openssl \ --with-libxml-dir=/tools/libxml2 \ --without-xmlrpc \ --without-zlib \ --without-bz2 \ --with-mysql \ --with-pgsql=$HOME/postgresql-8.1.4/src/interfaces/libpq \ --without-sqlite \ --enable-force-cgi-redirect \ --disable-cli \ --disable-pear \ --disable-ipv6 \ --with-apxs=/tools/apache/bin/apxs If I use the Postgres client shared lib, the configure process works fine - all of the various PQ... functions are detected. If I use only the static lib, then Postgres reports being detected, but none of the PQ.. functions are found. I tried extracting the code from the configure process that performs these detections and found that the only thing blocking the search for the PQ... functions from completing when using a static lib was that -lcrypt was not in the LIBS variable. Earlier in the configure script, there is a detection for crypt, which fails... but if I manually run the same test for crypt, it works! So, my questions are: 1. Why does the detection for crypt fail in configure but work at the commandline? 2. Why would there be a difference between detecting PQ functions in the postgres client static lib vs the shared lib? Thanks for any advice!
