Bug 337512 – dev-lang/php provide mans to build IBM DB2 PDO support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Maciej Mrozowski 2010-09-15 17:14:16 UTC]

It's not possible to build IBM DB2 PDO support because of hardcoded paths to DB2 SDK.

src_configure patch

Makes src_configure aware of DB2_HOME environment variable (modeled after ORACLE_HOME).
Resulting php cgi/cli/apache2-mod objects have proper RPATH appendend sp no further care required. LD_LIBRARY_PATH (see patch) is only needed for src_configure purpose.

Thanks for reporting this!
Just one question about the patch: shouldn't it be LD_LIBRARY_PATH+=...?

[Comment 3 Maciej Mrozowski 2010-09-19 13:26:20 UTC]

Yeah, why not. If there's LD_LIBRARY_PATH defined already (it actually shouldn't be the case, and it's not supposed to be needed) let's preserve it.

[Comment 4 Matti Bickel (RETIRED) 2010-09-19 15:16:57 UTC]

I see. After reading up on LD_LIBRARY_PATH seperators, it doesn't seem to be a good idea to use +=":${DB2_HOME}/`get_libdir`" here. Empty entries are "." by default and something tells me this is going to come back and bite us security-wise.

So I committed the patch as initially thought. Thanks :)
