[PHP-INSTALL] Compiling PHP 5.3.3 on Solaris 9

[Kurt Cypher]

I'm trying to compile PHP 5.3.3 from source on Solaris 9. I just
compiled & installed PHP 5.3.2 on the same server a couple of months
ago, but 5.3.3 isn't cooperating. I use the following configure:

../configure --prefix=/usr/local/apps/php-5.3.3 \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apps/apache-2.2.16/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/apps/mysql \
--with-oci8-instant-client=/usr/local/apps/oracle/instantclient10_1 \
--with-ldap

which runs without error.

When I try to run make, it goes along for a while, and ends with:

/bin/sh /common/src/languages/PHP/php-5.3.3/libtool --silent
--preserve-dup-deps --mode=compile gcc
-I/common/src/languages/PHP/php-5.3.3/ext/pcre/pcrelib -Iext/pcre/

/common/src/languages/PHP/php-5.3.3/ext/pcre/pcrelib/pcre_chartables.c
-o ext/pcre/pcrelib/pcre_chartables.lo
In file included from
/common/src/languages/PHP/php-5.3.3/ext/pcre/pcrelib/pcre_chartables.c:25:
/common/src/languages/PHP/php-5.3.3/ext/pcre/pcrelib/pcre_internal.h:197:20:
stdint.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [ext/pcre/pcrelib/pcre_chartables.lo] Error 1


As far as I can tell, stdint.h does not appear to exist in Solaris 9.
It does exist in Solaris 10. Since this server isn't slated for upgrade
to Solaris 10 in the immediate future, I need to figure out why PHP
5.3.3 all of a sudden needs to have stdint.h available, when 5.3.2 did not.

Anybody have any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks,
Kurt

This issue is a side effect of importing latest version of PCRE within
PHP and as you have rightly concluded seems to happen on Solaris
versions < 10. Please refer to php bug -
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52436

You can either apply the patch specified in this bug report by doing
some thing like

cd php-5.3.3
patch -p0 -d . < patch

or try the latest PHP Source snapshot from http://snaps.php.net

Hope this helps
Sriram

After a little more investigation, I ended up editing
ext/pcre/pcrelib/config.h and commented out the lines that define
HAVE_STDINT_H (since my OS doesn't have stdint.h), and the make has
proceeded beyond the previous point of failure, and has just completed,
as I type this.

Thanks,
