## #4125 — Gareth Ardron — 2003-08-22T10:05:15+00:00

I've got an extension which was written for 4.1/4.2, and everything worked 
great. I've just (by accident of me not paying attention to an apt-get 
dist-upgrade) upgraded to 4.3.2 and I can't get the extension to compile now. 
I keep getting bitching about unresolved symbols.

Does anybody have any docs kicking around as to how the build process changed 
between 4.2.x and 4.3.x so that I can fix this extension up please?

Also, as an interesting sidenote... 
The .so file that was compiled under 4.2.2 is fully useable under 4.3.2 as 
well for some reason. Not quite sure why though, I'd have assumed it'd need 
to be recompiled.

Cheers,

Which ones?

If it works, you're lucky... it shouldn't really work 100% though.
