compiling php5.4 on macosx 10.6.8 [closed]

Question

I'm trying to compile php 5.4.7 on mac osx 10.6.8.

I could install it using the default procedure:

./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local \
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql


sudo make clean
sudo make
sudo make install

But now if I try to install to compile php with the curl module it fails:

./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local \
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc \
--with-curl=/usr \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql


sudo make clean
sudo make

Last lines of make output:

Undefined symbols:
  "_CRYPTO_set_locking_callback", referenced from:
      _zm_shutdown_curl in interface.o
      _zm_startup_curl in interface.o
  "_CRYPTO_num_locks", referenced from:
      _zm_shutdown_curl in interface.o
      _zm_startup_curl in interface.o
  "_CRYPTO_get_id_callback", referenced from:

      _zm_startup_curl in interface.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libs/libphp5.bundle] Error 1

I read somewhere that in this case, I should tell the compiler where to find the missing library, so that it can links the missing files.

The problem is that I don't what library I should look for, is it libssl2 ?

I had the same issue with iconv & openssl. Both libraries where installed under /usr/local, but ld could never find the symbols. I was able to fix this on OSX 10.6.8 by compiling them as shared libraries. You can do this by adding shared to out --with-curl flag.

./configure \
  --prefix=/usr/local \
  --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc \
  --with-curl=shared,/usr \
  --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
  --with-mysql

If this doesn't work, try installing the latest curl under /usr/local, and updating the config flag.

--with-curl=shared,/usr/local
