Let's spend few words about Firebird first.
Firebird it's a "fork" of Interbase 6.0 source code, and its development is
managed by a team of independent developers, not from Borland itself.
Only Interbase 6.0 has been released as open source code ....
instead Firebird is an open source project .........
you can find more at http://firebird.sourceforge.net.
Right now both Interbase and Firebird have same API calls
and php interbase module it's working for Firebird too.
(May be in the future they will have different development .....)
Now, the problem with php-4.3.2RC1 (and current CVS too)
tested on Debian Woody and RH7.3 with Firebird instead of Interbase
=============================================
./configure --with-interbase=/usr
configure:37403: checking for InterBase support
configure:37461: checking for isc_detach_database in -lgds
configure:37480: gcc -o conftest -g -O2
-L/usr/lib -lgds
conftest.c -lgds -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl 1>&5
/usr/lib/libgds.so: undefined reference to `crypt'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 37469 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */
char isc_detach_database();
int main() {
isc_detach_database()
; return 0; }
=============================================
with Firebird we need libcrypt while testing for libgds .....
but as Jani noticed ... can we be 100% sure libcrypt is always available?
...mmmhhh....
I saw test for libgds was added in response of bug #21977 and
for Interbase users this is ok but Firebird users can't correctly compile
php .....
any suggestion is really appreciated ....
