Steps to produce a libiconv.so php extension so you can use the iconv() function in PHP
| #0.1 Do a find and replace for /usr/local/phpdave7 and switch it to your base installation path of php for example /usr/local/zendsvr | |
| #0.2 Do a find and replace for /QOpenSys/litmis/ibmichroot/ and switch it to the directory where shr4.o or shr.o is. Run `find / -name shr4.o` if you need to locate this file. | |
| #0.3 Do a find and replace for /usr/linux and switch it to the directory where your bin/iconv and lib/libiconv are located possibly /opt/freeware | |
| #1.0 find your PHP Version | |
| php -v | |
| >PHP 5.6.7 (cli) (built: Apr 2 2015 15:32:22) | |
| #2 get latest iconv php extension which is included in the php-src | |
| git clone -b PHP-5.6.7 http://git.php.net/repository/php-src.git | |
| #3 If you dont have libiconv.a, Get libiconv from perzl and then fix it | |
| wget http://www.oss4aix.org/download/RPMS/libiconv/libiconv-1.14-3.aix5.1.ppc.rpm | |
| rpm –ignoreos –ignorearch –nodeps –replacepkgs –oldpackage -hUv libiconv-1.14-3.aix5.1.ppc.rpm | |
| #4 tonys code on fixing libiconv | |
| ar -x /QOpenSys/usr/lib/libiconv.a | |
| # Argh Matie, we be needin' to make a ugly baby to fool the IFS Kraken | |
| cp /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv-lady-in-waiting.a | |
| #ar -rv /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv-lady-in-waiting.a shr4.o | |
| ar -rv /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv-lady-in-waiting.a /QOpenSys/litmis/ibmichroot/shr4.o | |
| #ar -rv /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv-lady-in-waiting.a shr.o | |
| ar -rv /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv-lady-in-waiting.a /QOpenSys/litmis/ibmichroot/shr.o | |
| rm /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a | |
| cp /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv-lady-in-waiting.a /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a | |
| #5 change directory to where php-src was downloaded and go to the iconv extension directory | |
| cd php-src/ext/iconv | |
| #6 make a copy of our current iconv.so extension (so you can revert back if needed) | |
| cp /usr/local/zendsvr/lib/php_extensions/iconv.so /usr/local/zendsvr/lib/php_extensions/iconv.so-orig | |
| #7 setup environment variables for configure and make | |
| export IBM_DB_HOME=/usr | |
| export PHP_HOME=/usr/local/phpdave7 | |
| export PASE_TOOLS_HOME=/QOpenSys/usr | |
| export AIX_TOOLS_HOME=/usr/local | |
| export PATH=$PATH:$PHP_HOME/bin:$PASE_TOOLS_HOME/bin:$AIX_TOOLS_HOME/bin | |
| export LIBPATH=$PHP_HOME/lib:$PASE_TOOLS_HOME/lib:$AIX_TOOLS_HOME/lib | |
| export CC=gcc | |
| export CFLAGS="-DPASE -I=.:$PHP_HOME/php/include" | |
| export CCHOST=powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.0.0 | |
| #8 check the gcc version | |
| gcc -v | |
| Target: powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.0.0 … used in CCHOST above | |
| #9 compile php extension by running (change –with-iconv to the base folder with iconv): | |
| #phpize, configure, gmake, gmake test, and gmake install | |
| phpize && ./configure –build=$CCHOST –host=$CCHOST –target=$CCHOST –cache-file=../config.cache –with-iconv=/usr/linux && gmake && gmake test && gmake install | |
| #"gmake install"s it to /usr/local/phpdave7/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20160303/iconv.so | |
| #10 -d will force temporary loading the extension (add extension=iconv.so to permenantly always load it) –ri display the configuration of an extension | |
| php -dextension=iconv.so –ri iconv | |
| #11 check what php extension modules are loaded | |
| php -m | |
| #12 edit php.ini to tell PHP to load iconv php extension by adding extension=iconv.so | |
| echo "extension=iconv.so" >> /usr/local/lib/php.ini | |
| #::NOTES:: | |
| #view compiled extension | |
