RE: [Dazuko-help] PHP Extension wont compile

[John Croucher]

Hello,

I think we have found the problem. It seems to be failing on the line
with -ldl.
After some research on the net, it appears that libld is not included on
BSD systems. It is under the Linux emulation but still wont compile
using it. Some sites say you may be able to remove the line, but when we
do that it fails with many more errors.

It appears there is no fix for the situation so we are looking at
alternatives, most likely going back to a C solution.


Thanks,

John

You will need to investigate what the configure script is doing here and
why it is not able to find the dazuko library.

I recommend adding "set -x" as the second line of the "configure" script
(in the dazuko-0.42) directory so that you can see what the script is
doing. You'll need to trace what exactly leads to the failure.

Using "pear build" will overwrite the "configure" script each time. So I
recommend running "pear build" once (to generate the configure script),
then go into the "dazuko-0.42" directory and add "set -x" as the second
line of the the "configure" script. Then run "configure" manually:

./configure

It will generate a lot of output, so you may want to dump it to a file
for easier investigation:

./configure > output 2>&1

If you find the problem, please let me know. I would be happy to adjust
the README to explain possible pitfalls. (If a fix for the dazuko-0.42
package is needed, you'll need to contact the PHP-binding maintainer.)
