## #15105 — M. Sokolewicz — 2005-02-19T16:48:48+00:00

whenever I try compiling PHP, the mysqli extension gives me trouble. 
I've gotten this all from HEAD just a couple of hours ago (again, it 
didn't work before either). I'm using MSVC 7.1 (.NET). Here's the error 
I'm getting:
ext\mysqli\php_mysqli.h(50) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 
'MYSQL_STMT'
ext\mysqli\php_mysqli.h(54) : error C2059: syntax error : '}'
ext\mysqli\php_mysqli.h(93) : error C2065: 'LOCAL_INFILE_ERROR_LEN' : 
undeclared identifier
ext\mysqli\php_mysqli.h(93) : error C2057: expected constant expression
ext\mysqli\php_mysqli.h(94) : error C2229: struct '__unnamed' has an 
illegal zero-sized array
ext\mysqli\php_mysqli.h(127) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' 
before '*'
ext\mysqli\php_mysqli.h(127) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '{' 
before '*'
ext\mysqli\php_mysqli.h(127) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'

Since I'm no good at C, I really have no idea what the problem here 
is... So, is this a problem with my compiler being stupid? or is this a 
real live problem in HEAD?

hope somebody can help me with this,

 Are you sure you have the right MySQL headers and libraries?

ah, thanks for the headsup on this, it seems it was indeed a 
header/library mismatch; the configure script took em from the 
win32build dir instead of the mysql install (had to move the win32buikd 
ones to have it fetch the mysql install headers/libs instead)

so, that works now; only problem left is an unresolved extrenal symbols 
problem.
php5ts.dll.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _libiconv_version
php5ts.dll.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol libiconv
php5ts.dll.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol libiconv_close
php5ts.dll.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol libiconv_open
php5ts.dll.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol 
libiconv_set_relocati
on_prefix
Release_TS\php5ts.lib : fatal error LNK1120: 5 unresolved externals
LINK : fatal error LNK1141: failure during build of exports file

Now, I have no idea why this is hapenning, because according to the 
makefile, it links to them via PHP_DLL_DEF_SOURCES (which has the 
correct paths. I've tried changing them, and make failed earlier because 
it couldn't find them...). I can't figure out why it has to be so much 
more complicated on win32-systems; guess that's because few people 
actually try it there =/
