[SOLVED] PHP (7.2.5) doesn't compile on -current

xj25vm · 05-22-2018, 04:29 PM

I have just updated a Slackware64 box this morning (22 May 2018) to -current, and because I need some extra modules, I attempted to re-compile PHP. I downloaded the scripts and sources from the Slackware -current repository, but when I try to compile I get the following error:

Code:

</snip>
checking if iconv supports //IGNORE... no
checking if your cpp allows macro usage in include lines... yes
checking for IMAP support... yes
checking for IMAP Kerberos support... no
checking for IMAP SSL support... /usr
checking for utf8_mime2text signature... new
checking for U8T_DECOMPOSE... no
configure: error: utf8_mime2text() has new signature, but U8T_CANONICAL is missing. This should not happen. Check config.log for additional information.

Has anybody else seen this? Some posts on the internet suggest this might have to do with imap and ssl support - but looking at the config.log file I can't really make sense of things so far. Any hints appreciated

try removing the /usr/local/lib$LIBDIRSUFFIX/c-client directory: you probably had built (and automatically installed) it some time ago when the alpine.SlackBuild was run via the php.SlackBuild (to statically link the imap library) but it now needs to be rebuilt.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I have removed the /usr/local/lib64/c-client dir (indeed, I have re-compiled php+alpine in the past on this box). However, I'm afraid exactly the same error message came back when I tried to recompile PHP.

I've checked the config.log, and I now wonder if that error message is misleading:

Code:

</snip>

configure:41317: checking for IMAP support
configure:41353: result: yes
configure:41362: checking for IMAP Kerberos support
configure:41377: result: no
configure:41386: checking for IMAP SSL support
configure:41401: result: /usr
conftest.c:373:10: fatal error: /mail.h: No such file or directory
 #include </mail.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
configure:41759: checking for utf8_mime2text signature
configure:41781: cc -c -I  -D_REENTRANT conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:375:10: fatal error: c-client.h: No such file or directory
 #include <c-client.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
configure:41781: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h */
| #define PACKAGE_NAME ""

</snip>

It kind of looks like the "mail.h: no such file or directory" error happens first.

Actually your suggestion was spot on. In the process of troubleshooting other compilation problems, I disabled both the imap references and the lines compiling Alpine in php.SlackBuild. Then I only re-enabled the imap config settings without realising. Once I uncommented the lines compiling Alpine in php.SlackBuild, it compiled all the way fine. Thank you for the suggestion!
