Solaris 7 compiling PHP

Anon

I get this error message no matter what I try:
ld: fatal: library -lstdc++: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to .libs/libphp4.so
make[1]: *** [libphp4.la] Error 1
I tried
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
No luck. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance........

I am assuming you installed the gcc package.

Did you install the libstdc++ package as well? If you did are you sure it is installed in the directorie you think it is?

Mark,

I have the same prolem but with libpng. Same error message and also trying to install on Solaris 7.
It seems I tried everything:
Re-installing the particular library
Setting and re-setting PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LDFLAGS, LD_RUN_PATH, etc....
Please let me if you get your problem resolved. It might resolve mime.
Thanks a bunch.

Mark,

I finally got things workink on my Solaris. Here is what worked:

env CPPFLAGGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./configure --with......

env CPPFLAGGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib make

Good luck.

My problem all along was PHP wasn't linking to the libstdc libraries even though they were in the standard location (/usr/local/lib).

The three choices for fixing them were:
1. make a symlink
2. set the env variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/libstc++/directory (before running ./start-zeus)
3. Recompile, using
EXTRA_LIBS to '-R /path/to/libstdc++/

Being short on time, I tried #2, and now PHP works just fine.

Thanks for replying...I had a hard time believing I was the only one who was running into this.

Sylvie (& co.),

When I used the equivalent method, it also worked for me, but then I had to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in order for Apache to run (not an option for us).

In my case it turned out that PHP was really struggling the gd, and libpng was only a symptom. I tried setting the directories explicitly for the library files of libpng & friends, but then failed to compile. Returning to php403p1's INSTALL, I interpreted that the --with-gd=[DIR] was expecting the directory above the library so it could also find the includes, thus /usr/local not /usr/local/lib.

Here is my successful configure statement:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/etc/mysql \
--with-xml \
--with-apache=../apache_1.3.12 \
--enable-track-vars \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-gd=/usr/local \
--with-xpm-dir=/usr/local/lib
