hi, i'm trying to install php 5.2.9 as a CGI from source on a centos 5.3 system. compiling and using the cgi does work, but the resulting binary is significantly larger than the 5.1.6 one packaged with centos (4,2M vs 2,8M) which seems to be related to php-cgi (and extensions) being not stripped (linked in libraries are not the problem, ldd is the same for both binaries).
i'm not a c programmer, so my knowledge about compiling is limited, but this is what i tried: i started from the configuration centos/redhat uses for compiling their rpm. relevant configure flags are: --host=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu \ --target=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu \ --with-libdir=lib64 \ --disable-debug \ --with-pic \ --disable-rpath \ various extensions are compiled "shared" (as in centos) CFLAGS are "-fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-pointer-sign" after thoroughly reading redhats spec file i tried using system libtool by applying the php-4.3.2-libtool15.patch and doing the following libtoolize --force --copy cat `aclocal --print-ac-dir`/libtool.m4 > build/libtool.m4 ./buildconf --force i don't even know if that worked (compile output still says "/bin/sh /usr/src/php-5.2.9/libtool") or if this related to my problem all build tools are from centos 5.3, ie. gcc is 4.1.2, binutils is binutils-2.17.50.0.6 anyway, after all my binaries are "not stripped" and i think this should not be the case, but i don't know how to change that, so I would be thankful for any advice matthias -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen Matthias Leopold System & Network Administration Streams Telecommunications GmbH Universitaetsstrasse 10/7, 1090 Vienna, Austria tel: +43 1 40159113 fax: +43 1 40159300 ------------------------------------------------
