Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Problems with iconv on AIX 5.3 and 6.1 - maybe a bug

Thanks Antony,

I sort of found that out. I downloaded the gnu iconv and gettext, and ran
them as libiconv, configure, install; tettext, configure, install; libiconv,
distclean, configure, install; php5.2.13 config, make, test (better
results), install - and the joomla migrate worked.

Now - as one of my goals is to make installable packages - I need to figure
out why "make dist" for libiconv (and maybe for gettext as well) does not
work.

As to 5.3 - personally, I have some oldish PHP code that does not like some
of the new defaults in 5.3 (as least when I tried when it first came out).
However, I shall soon do 5.2.14.

There is another AIX idiosycrancy I found. It does not like the BUILD_CLI
string in the Makefile. If I edit it into seperate lines and put those where
$(BUILD_CLI) stands, the sapi/cli/php program configures fine.

The other issue I run into is the, also oldish, libmysqlclient library I
link against also has all the libz routines. I am assuming the code is using
the libz routines - because libz is first in the shared libraries list.

Fun in porting :)

Off topic I know - but how much interest is there is a more explicit "debug"
info of the BUILD_CLI issue. Personally I find it very strange as it used to
work fine (the string does not look to have changed in a long time. I would
guess it is some security 'improvement' in make or ksh.
