If you're experiencing problems with enabling both the
mysql and the mysqli
extension when building PHP on Linux yourself, you should try the
following procedure.
Configure PHP like this:
./configure --with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config --with-mysql=/usr
Edit the
Makefileand search for a line that starts withEXTRA_LIBS. It might look like this (all on one line):EXTRA_LIBS = -lcrypt -lcrypt -lmysqlclient -lz -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lxml2 -lz -lm -lxml2 -lz -lm -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lxml2 -lz -lm -lcrypt -lxml2 -lz -lm -lcrypt
Remove all duplicates, so that the line looks like this (all on one line):
EXTRA_LIBS = -lcrypt -lcrypt -lmysqlclient -lz -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lxml2
Build and install PHP:
make make install
