hi,
i try to compile php-4.3.0 with libmcrypt 2.5.6.
i am using Sun Workshop 6 U1.

the libmcrypt was configured in 2 ways:
1st, i tried it with just ./configure. this did not work because no algorithms were included.

2nd, i tried it with:
./configure     \
--enable-static=yes     \
--with-included-algos="3-way arcfour blowfish cast-128 cast-256 des enigma gost loki97 rc2 rijndael rijndael-128 rijndael-192 rijndael-256 safer safer128 safer64 saferplus serpent tripledes twofish wake xtea"

this gave me a good version with a libmcrypt.a and a .so.

i did a make install and everything went fine. even mcrypt could be compiled and linked against the new version.

then i try to configure php with libmcrypt like this:

./configure                                     \
  --prefix=/usr/local                                           \

the configure script is happy until this:

checking for mcrypt support... yes
checking for mcrypt_module_open in -lmcrypt... no
checking for init_mcrypt in -lmcrypt... no
configure: error: Sorry, I was not able to diagnose which libmcrypt version you have installed.


the output from config.log is:
checking for mcrypt support... yes
checking for mcrypt_module_open in -lmcrypt... no
checking for init_mcrypt in -lmcrypt... no
configure: error: Sorry, I was not able to diagnose which libmcrypt version you have installed.

now, i had some ideas and tried a few things, but the real success is missing. i don't know, whats wrong here...

is it the mcrypt-version or is it php, searching for an exported function that simply does not exist?

cu, md.

ps: this is very similar to bug #20926, but the other bug is not worked on anymore as far as i can see, and a real solution was not provided within that case...
