[php-maint] Bug#329548: php4: ext/informix fails to link $INFORMIXDIR/lib/esql/checkapi.o

[Mike Wayburne]

Hi Klaus
 
I have followed all the instructions at
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=245249 and
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-php-maint/2005-September/000194
.html and get an error pretty much at the end.
 
I run the command "gcc /opt/informix/lib/esql/checkapi.o -o libphpifx.a" and
get the following error:
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../crt1.o: In function `_start':
init.c:(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

My working directory is
/var/tmp/portage/php-5.0.5-r5/work/php-5.0.5/ext/informix/
Any help on this would be hugely appreciated.

Regards,
Mike
