Bug 65501 – dev-php/php-4.3.8 fails to compile

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Hagen Schendel 2004-09-27 01:48:12 UTC]

when trying to emerge dev-php/php-4.3.8 compilation comes to a sudden end:
---
libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2 /libstdc++.la'
make: *** [sapi/cli/php] Error 1

!!! ERROR: dev-php/php-4.3.8 failed.
!!! Function php-sapi_src_compile, Line 511, Exitcode 2
!!! compile problem
---

The problem is, that in an up-to-date gentoo distro, there is only gcc-3.3.4 installed, hence the broken library reference. Of course this applies also to libstdc++.so. Obviously the gcc-3.3.2 lib reference is hardcoded somewhere in PHP's make files. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure the Gentoo distro is up-to-date as of Sep 27, 2004 with php NOT being installed
2. emerge php

Actual Results:  
compilation of dev/php-4.3.8 was aborted with an error message

Expected Results:  
instead of the hardcoded references to the gcc-3.3.2 runtimes
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/libstdc++.la
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/libstdc++.so
the symbolic links in /usr/lib should be used:
/usr/lib/libstdc++.la
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so

my workaround:
creating symbolic links for libstdc++.la and libstdc++.so at
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/
makes it possible to compile php

emerge info yields:

for some reason the libtool fixup script didn't run on your machine.
use /sbin/fix_libtool_files.sh
