Checking on the PHP-install list archive, I found two links to how-to's
( http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Apache-Compile-HOWTO/php.html and
http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/php+solaris.html ). I have followed both
how-to's instructions and I am still unable to compile PHP.

TIA!

Just prior to where you cut the output, there should be the command
that was used to link sapi/cli/php. This command is missing a .o
file, or maybe a library listed in the -llib format, that has that
symbol.

If you run the command "nm" on an object file or library, it will list
the symbols. So if you by hand or with a simple script ran nm on
every .so and .o in the php source tree, you should find that library
if it was correctly built.

cd php-4.3.4
for file in *.so */*.so */*/*.so ; do
echo $file
nm $file | grep php_parse_date
done

This will help you find the library that you need to add to the link
line. Note that the grep will catch objects that have the symbol in
them but because they refer to it not because they define it.

It might also help if you were to post the ./configure command you
used and a little more the output of the failed make, say 50 lines or
so so that we can see the link command.

-- end --
(Note: All the paths in both are absolute. I shorten them manually)

There is only one instance of php_parse_date in the files already
compiled in ext/standard/datetime.o. Aside from that, nothing else. BTW,
I only found *.o and *.lo files (I only checked *.o files though).

I got to compile it without the Command Line Interface and without PEAR.

Any problems I might encounter by disabling PEAR?

TIA,

Re: Problems compiling PHP 4.3 on Solaris 8

The object file parsedate.o (or parsedate.lo, one should be a link to
the other I think) should define that symbol. If you look in
ext/standard/parsedate.c you should see where that function is
defined.

Perhaps the order in which the objects are linked matters ? You could
try cutting and pasting that long link command to the command line,
and editting it to move parsedate.lo to just after datetime.lo. I'm
not sure where in the build system you would change that order to make
it happen automatically, but you could report it as a bug.

I don't know about PEAR; it depends on if you are using it. I was
under the impression that it was just a bunch of php class files and
could be installed by untarring it in the right place and editting
something in php.ini, but I am not sure about that.

I editted the line and it didn't worked either. I checked again the bug
reports and nothing seemed to help either. I'm submitting a bug report
for this situation. Thanks!

I managed to compile PHP 4.3.4 without PEAR support. I wanted to make
sure if something was moved between PHP4.0.x and 4.3.4 (IIRC, some
classes were moved to PEAR in PHP5. I don't know the validity of this
statement).

The problem was solved by upgrading bison and using the latest snapshot.
