PHP make error: dns.c

[Rich-Boy]

I've tried compiling PHP 4, 5 and 6 and get this same error every time during make;

I/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-5.2.4/ext/mbstring/oniguruma -I/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-5.2.4/ext/mbstring/libmbfl -I/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-5.2.4/ext/mbstring/libmbfl/mbfl -I/usr/local/mysql/include -I/usr/local/include/mysql -I/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-5.2.4/TSRM -I/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-5.2.4/Zend -I/usr/local/include -g -O2 -prefer-non-pic -c /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-5.2.4/ext/standard/dns.c -o ext/standard/dns.lo

Stop in /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-5.2.4.


PHP 5 compiled fine via custombuild about a month ago but as soon as i came to compile in exactly the same way as before that error popped up. I've googled and messed around with settings etc. for hours on end now so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Literally minutes after i posted this i found a fix (two actually)

What i did was install Cygwin's minires-devel package

cd /
wget http://ftp.univie.ac.at/packages/cygwin/release/minires/minires-devel/minires-devel-1.01-1.tar.bz2
tar zxvf minires-devel-1.01-1.tar.bz2


There's also a fix which i didnt test here; http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2005-January/049653.html


pico /usr/ports/lang/php5/work/php-5.0.3/ext/standard/dns.c [most likely /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/php-5.2.4/ext/standard/dns.c instead]
replace
res_ninit with __res_ninit
res_nmkquery with __res_nmkquery
res_nsend with __res_nsend
res_nclose with __res_nclose


I hope thats helped someone.
