Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/intro.fbsql
---
When I compile PHP7.2.4 from source with option '--with-fbsql' I get that the option is unrecognized.  However the docs on the fbsql section on the php website indicates that PHP7 does support fbsql.


Test script:
---------------
'./configure' '--with-fbsql'

The introduction section mentions[1]:

| This extension has been moved to the » PECL repository and is no
| longer bundled with PHP as of PHP 5.3.0.

However, it seems that the package is not available on PECL[2],
even though it is in the PECL repo[3].

Frank, could you please clarify the status of the package?

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Download the source from the SVN repositoryÆ

svn co https://svn.php.net/repository/pecl/fbsql/trunk

You can either build the extension as a shared object

phpize
./configure --with-fbsql
make

or by bopying or symlinking the folder to the PHP source tree under the ext folder.

Thank you for your feedback.  However, if I try to create a fbsql.so file with phpize I still have some issues.  I use php version 7.2.8 and use the pecl trunk folder.  Configure goes without errors or warnings, but if I run make I receive the following warning:

/Users/babr/trunk/php_fbsql.c:778:2: warning: implicit declaration of function 'GC_ADDREF' is invalid in C99
      [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
        GC_ADDREF(res);
        ^
1 warning generated.

If I add the produced fbsql.so file to the extensions library and try to run a Frontbase query, I get an Apache error:

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _GC_ADDREF
  Referenced from: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.8/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20170718/fbsql.so
  Expected in: flat namespace

Thanks for your support.

Best regards,
Bavo
