Hi all,

i still have some troubles for making php aware of firebird

i've got the following stuffs :
firebirdSS 1.5 RC4
apache 2.0.47
php 4.3.2

firebirdSS and apache are both installed and running well,
but not running when compiling php,
php is untared in /usr/local/php-4.3.2 and i do :

$ LIBS="-ltsdc++ -lcrypt"
$ ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-
interbase=shared,/usr/local/firebird

(...)
checking for InterBase support... yes, shared
checking for isc_detach_database in -lgds... no
checking for isc_detach_database in -lib_util... no
configure: error: libgds or libib_util not found! Check config.log
for more information.

$ cat config.log

(...)

configure:37577: checking for isc_detach_database in -lgds

char isc_detach_database();

int main() {
isc_detach_database()
; return 0; }
configure:37629: checking for isc_detach_database in -lib_util
configure:37648: gcc -o conftest -g -O2

char isc_detach_database();

int main() {

; return 0; }

/*EOF*/


[QUOTE]
according to <http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=23928>
add #define ISC_FAR in php_interbase.h
export LIBS="-lstdc++ -lcrypt"
[/QUOTE]

i guess the file called 'php_interbase.h' is indeed a generic name
for
/usr/local/firebird/include/ibase.h and this file has already the
line #define ISC_FAR

any help welcomed :)

fanx
M.
