I am installing PHP 7.2 on AIX 7.2 machine from source along with Apache 2.4. Used the following command's in the order. No errors in step 1 and 2.

1) ./configure --prefix=/opt/php/install --with-config-file-path=/opt/php/install --with-apxs2=/opt/apache/install/bin/apxs --with-openssl=/opt/freeware/openssl --with-curl=/opt/curl/install --with-png-dir=/opt/freeware --with-zlib-dir=/opt/freeware --with-iconv=/opt/freeware --enable-mbstring --with-gd --with-gmp=/opt/gmp/install --enable-cli --disable-phar

2) make

3) make install.

Getting the following error. How to resolve this?

        echo '\

        echo '\

install: File libphp7.a was not found.
apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=131072
.
make: The error code from the last command is 1.

Stop

I think it's not able to copy the libphp7.a file from ./libs folder of PHP to apache/install/modules.

  • One thing you could try: repeat every compilations with `LDFLAGS=-Wl,-brtl` – Lorinczy Zsigmond Jun 04 '19 at 15:40
  • @LorinczyZsigmond I ran "make LDFLAGS=-Wl, -brtl" only for PHP. It failed with same error. Do I need to run the same command for Apache, curl etc? What is the significance of "LDFLAGS=-Wl, -brtl" ? – Shankar Jun 05 '19 at 08:52
  • You might try, but you should realize that compiling on AIX _is_ hard, you will face countless problems. (I've written some words about AIX, it might be interesting: http://lzsiga.users.sourceforge.net/aix-linking.html ) – Lorinczy Zsigmond Jun 05 '19 at 08:56

It‘s an AIX typical bug. In a second session run a copy command in a while loop (cp .lib/libphp7.a /apache/modules/ ) before make install.
