Hi @all,

I tried to compile the php_db4 extension in order to use bdb4
transactions along with php4 (not possible with standard dba_*
functions from php4).

What I did so far is:
- compiled and installed the Berkley DB 4.4 libs without problems
- tried the following in /root/db-4.4.20/php_db4
# phpize
# ./configure --with-db4=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib
# make

However this extension won't compile...
I'm using Debian 3.1 stable with PHP 4.3.10, Apache2, Berkley DB 4.4
(compiled from sources) and GCC 3.3.5.

Output:

Anyone any ideas?

Thank you in advance,
Maurice.

Ok, solved it:

# pwd
/root/db-4.4.20/build_unix
# CPPFLAGS=-DHAVE_CXX_STDHEADERS ../dist/configure --enable-cxx
# make
# make install

# cd ../php_db4
# pwd
/root/db-4.4.20/php_db4
# CPPFLAGS=-DHAVE_CXX_STDHEADERS ./configure
--with-db4=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib
# make

DONE!
