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 /Home/staff/fahlgren/php-test/php5-200405071030/main/php.h:34, from /Home/staff/fahlgren/php-test/php5-200405071030/ext/standard/proc_open.c:23: /Home/staff/fahlgren/php-test/php5-200405071030/Zend/zend_hash.h:39: parse error before `*' /Home/staff/fahlgren/php-test/php5-200405071030/Zend/zend_hash.h:39: parse error before `uint' /Home/staff/fahlgren/php-test/php5-200405071030/Zend/zend_hash.h:39: `ulong' declared as function returning a function [...] more errors due to the first ones. 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. / Daniel Fahlgren -- I live the way I type; fast, with a lot of mistakes Daniel Fahlgren http://www.acc.umu.se/~guru/ sysadm@{acc,cs,math}.umu.se 070-3406400 ordf@acc --- ## #9704 — Wez Furlong — 2004-05-07T13:00:31+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/9703#9704 · In reply to: #9703 This is a known issue (search bugs.php.net).

A simple solution that should keep the build on Linux (and others) intact is #ifdef __sun__ #include #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) / Daniel Fahlgren -- I live the way I type; fast, with a lot of mistakes Daniel Fahlgren http://www.acc.umu.se/~guru/ sysadm@{acc,cs,math}.umu.se 070-3406400 ordf@acc --- ## #9709 — Jay Smith — 2004-05-07T19:34:44+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/9703#9709 · In reply to: #9704 Wez Furlong wrote: > 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.

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. J
