Description:
------------
This is a reference to PECL bug #16575 <http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=16575>. Since intl will shortly be part of core instead of PECL, I feel this bug belongs here. Here's my addition to the issue:

This is due to intl/msgformat/msgformat_helpers.cpp being a C++ file and GCC not handling that case cleanly. The exact error is specifically due to GCC not linking to libstdc++. Which is, actually, kinda reasonable since it's been invoked as a plain C compiler. Anyway, you can get around the problem for now by adding "/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1/libstdc++.dylib" (if you're building with gcc-4.2) or "/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.0.1/libstdc++.dylib" (if you're building with gcc-4.0, the default) to your LDFLAGS. That's right, WITHOUT -l or -L. I wouldn't consider this a real solution, but a better solution is pending further research into the subject.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$ CFLAGS='-arch x86_64' CXXFLAGS='-arch x86_64' LDFLAGS='-arch x86_64' ./configure --enable-intl --with-icu=/path/to/icu
$ make


Expected result:
----------------
Build complete.
Don't forget to run 'make test'.

$ 

Actual result:
--------------

 "___gxx_personality_v0", referenced from:
     EH_frame1 in msgformat_helpers.o
ld: symbol(s) not found

I'm having the same exact problem using --enable-intl --with-icu-dir=/path/to/icu

I installed ICU with macports, and so I'm using /opt/local as my path to ICU.

No, upgrading the bundled libtool didn't fix it. The buildsystem isn't set up to deal with C++ files automatically.
 [2009-11-24 11:46 UTC] jani@php.net
well, build system does handle C++ quite fine for me. OSX is "special"..
 [2010-01-10 11:54 UTC] harald dot lapp at gmail dot com
same problem here: osx 10.5.8, php5.3-latest

any ideas how to fix this issue?
 [2010-02-10 14:05 UTC] surfchen at gmail dot com
It is a linking problem, here is the simple workaround:
edit Makefile and add -lstdc++ into EXTRA_LIBS.
 [2010-04-20 19:31 UTC] fsb at thefeb dot org
i confirm the fix [2010-02-10 12:05 UTC] surfchen at gmail dot com: "add -lstdc++ into EXTRA_LIBS" worked for 5.3.2 release on osx 10.6.3.
 [2010-05-24 21:19 UTC] stas@php.net
Also if you change $(CC) to $(CXX) in BUILD_* vars in Makefile it seems to help too. Looks like if you use C++ anywhere in PHP the linker should be C++ or library should be added manually. I'll try to see if I can maybe make configure add needed magic juice there...
 [2010-06-17 19:43 UTC] henrik at bearwoods dot dk
I have tried the above "quick-fixes" and have not been able to compile it yet. Im on a Macbook Pro i5 and 10.6.4 (Maybe the i5 makes a difference)
 [2011-07-01 16:23 UTC] harald dot lapp at gmail dot com
just setting the EXTRA_LIBS did not work for me, but stas tip made it work. (PHP 
5.3.6, Mac OS X 10.6.7), thanks!
 [2011-11-06 19:11 UTC] luke at cywh dot com
Is there going to be a proper fix for this any time soon? I'm having a lot of 
trouble getting 5.3.8 to compile on OS X 10.6.8.
 [2011-11-11 11:30 UTC] aharvey@php.net
tl;dr: Debian Testing and Ubuntu 11.10 have the same problem with
./configure --enable-intl --with-curl.


Effectively the same issue (required C++ linkage not occurring) is now
happening on Ubuntu 11.10 (x86-64) and Debian Testing (armv7l) with
PHP 5.3 SVN and PHP 5.4.0RC1 when compiling with both intl and curl
enabled (note that a compile with just --enable-intl succeeds). It's
notable that both these distributions feature the new Debian
"multiarch" support. Both libcurl and libicu are the normal packaged
versions.

With ./configure --enable-intl --with-curl, the result of
the compile (on the Ubuntu box, although the Debian errors are
effectively the same, just with different architecture-specific paths)
is this:

/usr/bin/ld: ext/intl/msgformat/msgformat_helpers.o: undefined reference to symbol '__gxx_personality_v0@@CXXABI_1.3'
/usr/bin/ld: note: '__gxx_personality_v0@@CXXABI_1.3' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [sapi/cgi/php-cgi] Error 1

Diffing the Makefile produced by --enable-intl alone with the
"--enable-intl --with-curl" combination produces the following
(excluding rules directly related to compiling objects within
ext/curl):

Stas's suggestion of replacing the $(BUILD_CGI) and $(BUILD_CLI)
instances of $(CC) in the generated Makefile with $(CXX) fixes the
build.

I'm not familiar enough with our build system to know how to fix this,
but we should probably do something if we can for 5.4.0 final: intl
and curl doesn't seem like it would be an unusual combination. Can we
hack the build system to use the C++ compiler preferentially if
ext/intl and ext/curl are enabled, if it can't be fixed "properly"
(whatever form that takes -- it may even up being an upstream issue)?

I can confirm Stas's suggestion (s/CC/CXX/ in BUILD_* vars) works with 5.4.0RC1 
on linux 64-bit.
 [2012-03-13 15:46 UTC] dan at cdchase dot com
It would be helpful if the build system imported any already set CFLAGS. As I've experienced this issue before, so I've set the appropriate CFLAGS in my default environment. But, the automated install routine does not honor these. I have to manually install for them to be honored.

Also happens again with PHP 5.3.12 on Ubuntu 12.04 -- stas fix confirmed. A generic solution would be nice, indeed.

This is still and issue on 5.3.18, but 5.4.8 built without error. Interestingly if you build intl as shared you don't get the compile error (how I am currently getting around issue). I am on Ubuntu 12.04.

One liner fix for those who still do (scripted) builds on 5.3.x.
5.3.22 still fails on Ubuntu 12.04.

Quick fix for this 5.3.28 should work


edit Makefile and found the rule of

ext/intl/msgformat/msgformat_helpers.cpp

change the $(CC) to $(CXX)

then run:

sed -i '/EXTRA_LIBS = /s|$| -lstdc++|' Makefile

 [2015-02-26 01:17 UTC] kurt dot newman at cpanel dot net
This problem is cropping up on CentOS 7 x86_64 with PHP 5.3.29.

It looks like the PHP devs resolved this in later versions of PHP by adding PHP_ADD_LIBRARY macros to acinclude.m4 and aclocal.m4.

The odd thing is, on CentOS 6.5, the resulting sapi/cli/php binary properly links against libstdc++ even though it isn't passing -lstdc++ to the linker.  I'll need to figure out why that's possible at a later date.

To resolve this specific issue, I did the following.

1. Patch acinclude.m4 and aclocal.m4
2. re-run ./buildconf

This regenerates the configure script and ensures that the -lstdc++ is used to properly link sapi/cli/php.  However, it also ensures scripts/php-config is updated with the -lstdc++ library as well.  This update ensures all extensions that that are compiled against your PHP version also link against stdc++.
