ld: fatal: file /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

Question

I'm trying to build PHP 7.4 on Solaris sparc 10, but I'm getting this error:

No output written to .libs/libphp7.so *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `libphp7.la'

My configure is as follows:

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

You are building a 64-bit executable with the following environment variable set:

LD LDFLAGS=-L/opt/csw/lib/gcc -L/usr/local/lib -R/opt/csw/lib/gcc

Given this error:

ld: fatal: file /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

The shared object /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so is a 32-bit shared object.

You can either remove directories that have 32-bit binaries in them from your LD_* environment variables when building or running 64-bit binaries, or make sure the contents of any of those directories are all 32- or 64-bit if there's a 64-bit library in /usr/local/lib that you need.

You need to read the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES section of the Solaris 10 ld.so.1 man page:

Environment Variables

Each environment variable can be specified with a _32 or _64 suffix. This makes the environment variable specific, respectively, to 32–bit or 64–bit processes. This environment variable overrides any non-suffixed version of the environment variable that might be in effect. Environment variables specified without a value, that have a _32 or _64 suffix, effectively cancel any associated generic environment variable setting.

You're mixing a lot of LD_* environment variables with and without the _32 and _64 suffixes, and you need to clean that up and be consistent so you don't wind up mixing 32- and 64-bit executable files.

And this looks downright wrong:

ZLIB_LIBS=-L/usr/include

Libraries in /usr/include???
