PHP 4.3.9RC2 and pdflib

Hi,

Is there any particular reason why pdflib 6 does not compile with PHP 4.3.9RC2.

ext/pdf/pdf.lo: In function zif_pdf_open': /usr/local/src/php-4.3.9RC2/ext/pdf/pdf.c:472: undefined reference toPDF_open_fp'
*** Error code 1

I would assume that we should ensure that we maintain the extensions
compatibility for the 4.3.X releases of PHP. A similar bug I found[1]
says that this is not a bug (which I would think it is), and that
users should use the PECL version of pdflib. If the pdflib extension
is not being maintained, should we not then package php 4.3.9 by
default to carry the pdflib files from PECL?

Regards

The pdflib in 4.3 works fine with pdflib 3-5, just not for 6. But of
course configure needs to check for that. I also agree with you that
pointing people to PECL for 4.3 is a bad idea too (though you can also
just use pdflib 5 though).

I also followed up on the bugreport.
