Bug 105299 – eaccelerator ebuild installs eaccelerator.so that doesn't work with php5 & apache 1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Matt 2005-09-08 13:12:27 UTC]

I installed eAccelerator on my gentoo box after installing the new dev-lang/php
overlay.  When starting apache it would say that OnUpdateInt was an undefined
symbol.  I believe that in php5 the function onUpdateInt was essentially renamed
to onupdatelong.

I changed the code as follows:

#ifndef ZEND_ENGINE_2
#define OnUpdateLong OnUpdateInt
#endif

to

#ifndef ZEND_ENGINE_2
#define OnUpdateLong
#endif

After this change it works fine with php5.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge the new dev-lang/php package
2. emerge eaccelerator
3. restart apache and look at the error log

Actual Results:  
the error message described above.

Expected Results:  
loaded eaccelerator.so properly.

Eaccelerator doesn't really support PHP5 that well, especially not newer
releases (like 5.1.0 fex.). We do not support Eaccelerator on PHP5, and
furthermore if you want to use any extension with the new dev-lang/php packages
you _MUST_ emerge it from either the dev-php4/ or dev-php5/ categories
(depending on the PHP version you want them for). De facto we only have
dev-php4/eaccelerator and NO dev-php5/eaccelerator, so we don't support (yet)
Eaccelerator on PHP5, we will do that only when upstream has sorted all the
problems with PHP5 support out. dev-php/eaccelerator is deprecated, don't use it.
Short story: no Eaccelerator for dev-lang/php-5*, only available for
dev-lang/php-4* as dev-php4/eaccelerator.

Closing. Please, consider dev-php5/pecl-apc instead for php5.
