#72 Php does not build from SRPM
I need to build php from SRPM to include more libraries in it.
I do it this way :
cd /opt/freeware/src/packages/SPECS
(I edit php.spec to change the configure options)
rpm -ba php.spec
Thois does the configuration and the make steps, but it
cannot install the package, because it does not create
the libphp4.so library during the make step.
The error log is :
+ cd -
/opt/freeware/src/packages/BUILD/php-4.0.6
+ mkdir -p /var/opt/freeware/tmp/php-root/opt/freeware/include/php/ext/xml/expat/xmltok

cp: .libs/libphp4.so.0: No such file or directory
Bad exit status from /var/opt/freeware/tmp/rpm-tmp.30732 (%install)
this normally happens when make cannot find some
other piece of software (e.g. mysqlclient), so the
shared library is not created.
Any idea of what is wrong here ?
What changes did you make to the configure options? When we build, we have /usr/linux/bin ahead of /usr/bin in the PATH to get the "Linux" versions of various utilities - sometimes that makes a difference (AIX make != GNU make, AIX m4 != GNU m4, etc....).
My PATH is this :
root@trantor:/ # echo $PATH
/opt/freeware/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin
I'm shure I use the GNU set of tools (I checked them
with which make ...)
My changes in the php.spec file are these :
./configure
--prefix=%{prefix}
--disable-debug
--enable-track-vars
--enable-magic-quotes
--with-apxs=/httpd/sbin/apxs
--with-mysql=/opt/freeware
--with-config-file-path=/etc/opt/freeware/apache
--with-zlib
--with-system-regex
--enable-bcmath
--with-gd=/opt/freeware
--with-ttf=/opt/freeware
--with-jpeg-dir=/opt/freeware
--with-xpm-dir=/opt/freeware
--with-imap=/usr1/src/imap
--with-xml
--with-ftp
%if %{SSL} == 1
--with-ssl
%endif
make
The error is the same with basic configuration :
# A basic configure and make
./configure --prefix=%{prefix} --with-apxs --with-mysql
--with-config-file-path=/etc/opt/freeware/apache --with-ftp
--with-zlib --with-system-regex
--with-xml --with-ftp
%if %{SSL} == 1
--with-ssl
%endif
make
The error about "libphp4.so not found" is shown in the php
bugs database, but it is not clear if this bug is closed
or not ... it seems to be somewhere about the dso support.
NOTE : in php-4.0.6/ltconfig I found :
# See if GNU ld supports shared libraries.
case "$host_os" in
aix3* | aix4*)

ld_shlibs=no

Can this be the cause of the missing libphp4.so ?
Ah -ha! (Maybe).
That looks like an old ltconfig (because it doesn't mention AIX). For whatever reason, the php spec file is not invoking libtoolize on ppc platforms (it does on IA64). Assuming that you have libtool installed from the Toolbox (install it if you do not), remove the %ifarch ia64 /%endif test around the libtoolize --force (should be on about line 99).
I'll ask our php maintainer about the apparent discrepancy.
Removed %ifarch ia64 /%endif ... OK
I had also to correct the following line :
#install -m 644 *.gif $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{contentdir}/icons/
to
./build/shtool install -c -m 644 *.gif $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{contentdir}/icons/
because that syntax is not accepted from Aix install,
but I can't complete the installation, because during
the build phase, it complains about some missing library,
but I can't know wich one: neither redirections or tee command work for this job (rpm -ba php.spec)
I'm loosing my head ... how can I have the log of
a rpm build? It seems to me that we had less problems
compiling from tarball, but how can I do that ? I tried
to install everything from sources but the configuration
does not work with this new environment. Please help !
I'm working from september to install a simple aix5
to substitute a well working aix 4.3.3 whit apache+php+
mysql +some minor libraries (gd,bcmath,png) I dont find
into precompiled php. What is the correct whay to obtain this simple bunch of programs ?
New info this is the error :
/opt/freeware/lib -R /usr1/src/imap/c-client -R /opt/freeware/lib/mysql stub.lo Zend/libZend.la sapi/ap
ache/libsapi.la main/libmain.la regex/libregex.la ext/zlib/libzlib.la ext/gd/libgd.la ext/imap/libimap.la

-lpng -lz -ljpeg -lz -lcrypt -lbind -ldl
nm: ext/standard/.libs/libstandard.al[image.lo]: 0654-206 Cannot process the symbol table.
But after this error, the job continues for two minutes,
after that it terminate well, but without copying the
module to apache/libexec. I can't copy it manually,
because it erase quickly the working directory :
+ cd /opt/freeware/src/packages/BUILD
+ cd php-4.0.6
+ [ /var/opt/freeware/tmp/php-root != / ]
+ rm -rf /var/opt/freeware/tmp/php-root
+ exit 0
I built the php that is on the Toolbox site; I'll see if I can help you. Since it worked on our build system, using this same SRPM, there has got to be something different in our environments/system setup. One difference might be the compiler -- we are defaulting to the IBM xlc compiler (cc), not the gcc compiler (for performance reasons). But it should work with gcc too; which compiler are you using?
Hmm.... I'm seeing a failure if I switch to gcc (encountered earlier in the build than what you are seeing).
Something else that is different; it sounds like you may not have the "fileutils" RPM installed, since you are picking up the AIX 'install' command instead of the GNU version. Do you have /opt/freeware/bin/install ? If not, download the fileutils RPM, and you shouldn't get the install failure.
Since this is dependent on the GNU install, I'll put fileutils into the SPEC file as a BuildPrereq.
And another difference: I see from the "nm" error message in your last note that you are running the native AIX 'nm' command; do you have 'binutils' installed? If so, put /usr/linux/bin first in your path (the GNUPro binutils are symlinked to /opt/freeware/GNUPro/bin ; you could put that in your path instead if you like).
Try it again with filutils and binutils installed, and /usr/linux/bin (instead of just /opt/freeware/bin).
BTW, it wasn't doing a libtoolize because of the patch needed for the ltconfig script for --with-apxs. libtoolize would overwrite the patch.
libtoolize is only needed to override the existing ltconfig/ltmain.sh if the existing ones don't work correctly (unless they've been customized; yuck.)
Also -- redirection definitely should work for you when you run the command. We run essentially:
rpm -ba php.spec 2>&1 | tee /tmp/php.build
(that should definitely be working; if not, what shell are you using?)
If you can get that file, I'd like to see it; email it to cliss@austin.ibm.com.
Let's see if we can get the basic php.spec from the SRPM to work first before adding your customized flags, since we know that built successfully here, and so I can compare apples to apples.

Update (summary) --
Fulvio has now gotten it to build (problem had to do with the environment settings, from /etc/environment not set when in KDE, it seems). He sent me his build information. It builds fine, but httpd core dumps; this is the same thing I saw prompting the ltconfig patch and NOT running libtoolize.
He also found a problem with libgd.a depending on libttf.a and finding the static version on the system instead of the toolbox version. He has worked around that problem for now, but I am looking into it some more.
I built PHP on AIX prior to installing linux toolbox...

Subject: Installing PHP-4.0.6 on AIX 4.3.3 using gcc
Hello all,
I recently installed php 4.0.6 on AIX 4.3.3.0 using Phill's document
posted to this list on 05.08.2001 (life saver) and would like to repost it
with some corrections. The corrections may be obvious to some but it kept
me up for a *long* time. The problems i found were in step 6 and 7 .
${wl} -bI:/usr/local/apache/libexec/httpd.exp
^- there should be no space before "-bI:"
obj=`$echo "X$oldobj" | $Xsed -e "lo2o"`
lo2o is defined earlier in the script and needs to be "$lo2o"

Installing PHP-4.0.6 on AIX 4.3.3 using gcc
1) Download PHP source.
2) gunzip -> tar ....
3) cd php-4.0.6
4) ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
--enable-trans-sid --disable-xml --disable-pear
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-oci8=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6
5) vi libtool
6) Hack away at these lines:
archive_cmds= .....
add this:
${wl}-bI:/usr/local/apache/libexec/httpd.exp
do the same for:
archive_expsym_cmds= ......
7) Search for the following:
Do each command in the archive commands
At the bottom of the loop that starts with the line:
for oldobj in $oldobjs; do
.
.
.
.
done
insert this just before and after the "done" i.e.
obj=`$echo "X$oldobj" | $Xsed -e "$lo2o"`
eval "cp $oldobj $obj"
done
oldobjs=`$echo "X$oldobjs" | $Xsed -e 's/.lo/.o/g'`
8) make
9) make install

New infos :
I tried to compile php 4.1.0 directly from tarball :
it complains about libm.a missing, so I discovered that
on my system bos.adt.libm was not installed !!
After this pkg has been installed I was able to compile
php from sources (not from SRPM) copying by hand libphp4.so.0 form .libs to /apache/libexec.
The standard installation
searches it in libs (not .libs) so it cannot install ..
It's a bit tricky, but now I have php !
Thanks to all, guys
Good to hear.
Still, it should build from the SRPM.... While the SRPM itself builds fine for me, I think there are a couple things that ought to be cleaned up with it (e.g. added BuildRequires, plus I didn't know any better at the time but I created an import file to import the apache symbols, even though apache already provides an export file that can be used for importing).
So let's leave the bug report open until I get back to this, though I can see that that won't be until January, as I will be out for two weeks.
