Compiling apache 1.3.22 and php with informix support
fails with 
/usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open -lphpifx: No such file or directory

First i have configured and compiled php with
--with-apache=/usr/src/apache_1.3.22" --enable-track-vars \
--with-informix=/opt/informix --enable-magic-quotes \
--without-mysql

This and the final "make install" runs fine.

Then i have tried to configure apache with
"--with-layout=Apache" \ "--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a" \
"--enable-module=rewrite" \
"--enable-module=info" \
"--disable-module=imap" \
"--enable-module=expires" \
"--enable-module=log_agent" \
"--enable-module=so" \
"--prefix=/var/apache" \

The configure script gives me then the error 
Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.22
 + using installation path layout: Apache (config.layout)
 + activated php4 module (modules/php4/libphp4.a)

/usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open -lphpifx: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [dummy] Error 1

I have then searched the whole system about a libphpifx
but nothing found. If i remove the entrie -lphpifx from
libphp4.module i get an other error message saying
/opt/informix/lib/esql/libifsql.so: undefined reference to `ifx_checkAPI

I had no problems compiling apache 1.3.20 with informix
support.

I am using the Informix csdk 2.40UC1.

This is supposed to be fixed in the upcoming release.

In the meantime you can try latest RC:
http://www.php.net/~zeev/php-4.1.0RC5.tar.gz

Closed.

with 4.1RC5 i get the error message 
/opt/informix/lib/esql/libifsql.so: undefined reference to `ifx_checkAPI

After searching in the bug database i have found
something similar under bug id 3386. Seems that
esql is not called correctly for linking Apache.

With the following script  (of course you may have
to adjust your pathes and configure options) i
have then compiled apache 1.3.22 and php 4.1RC5
successfully. Important is, that you set the
enviroment variable CC to esql.

#!/bin/sh
IFX_LIBDIR="-L$INFORMIXDIR/lib -L$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql"
IFX_INCDIR="$INFORMIXDIR/incl/esql"
IFX_LIBS="$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql/libifsql.a \
$INFORMIXDIR/lib/libifasf.a \
$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql/libifgen.a \
$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql/libifos.a \
$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql/libifgls.a \
$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql/libifsql.a \
-lgen -lgls -lm -ldl $INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql/checkapi.o \
$INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql/libifglx.a"
 
export IFX_LIBDIR IFX_INCDIR IFX_LIBS
CC="esql" \
CFLAGS="-O2 -mpentium " \
./configure \
"--with-layout=Apache" \
"--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a" \
"--enable-module=rewrite" \
"--enable-module=info" \
"--disable-module=imap" \
"--enable-module=expires" \
"--enable-module=log_agent" \
"--enable-module=so" \
"--prefix=/var/apache" \
