compile issues on Solaris

Hello

I'm having compile issues with PHP5 on Solaris. I tried both Solaris 8
and 9, both giving me the same error. The problem is in the file
ext/standard/proc_open.c

And the error message from gcc is:

In file included from
/Home/staff/fahlgren/php-test/php5-200405071030/Zend/zend.h:244, from

I found that in order to get ulong and uint on Solaris you have to
include sys/types.h Then it compiles and gives a functional binary. It
must beincluded before the "#define _XOPEN_SOURCE", otherwise it still
won't compile.

This problem is still in the latest cvs snapshot (from May 07, 2004
10:30 GMT as you can tell by the path). When I compiled RC2 I think I
had to include sys/termios.h as well in order to get some constant
defined, but that seems to have been fixed now.

This is a known issue (search bugs.php.net).

Unfortunately, the workaround you (and the others) suggest will cause a
similar problem on Linux systems :-/

We need to find a way to set those _XOPEN_SOURCE style defines up so that
the build succeeds on your system. However, I don't have access to any
Solaris boxen so I can't get stuck in to fix it.

Well. A simple solution that should keep the build on Linux (and others)
intact is

#ifdef sun
#include<sys/types.h>
#endif

Perhaps not the neatest one, but then it should compile on Solaris using
gcc.. Better then not compile at all :) I guess the correct way is to
let configure figure out if types.h is needed and not trust a define
that might not exist in all compilers.

I could dig in and try to find another solution that works. If I'm
feeling brave (and perhaps stupid) I can give it a try on Irix and AIX
as well.. ;) (I haven't tried to compile on them at all)

Hey Wez,

Conincidentally enough, just yesterday I ressurrected my Solaris box, so if
you'd like a login or have any tests you'd like me to, I can provide a
login and everything. Actually, I think I sent login details a long time
ago, but if not, I can re-send 'em.

The box is still at Solaris 8 on an old SPARC Ultra 10. I've upgraded a few
things recently like glibc and gcc and such, and while it's a bit of hassle
to compile PHP now (ld path issues, I think I've cleaned most of it up) it
will probably do if you need a shell.

Let me know and I'll send you the login details if want access.
