Saxon » SaxonC

On my linux box when I run the command I get the following output:

/etc/php/8.1/cli/conf.d/20-saxon.ini,
saxonc
saxonc => enabled
SaxonC API version => 12.0
PWD => /home/ond1/work/repository/saxondev-12/build/releases/libsaxon-HEC-linux-v12.0/samples/saxon-he-php-demo-main
OLDPWD => /home/ond1/work/repository/saxondev-12/build/releases/libsaxon-HEC-linux-v12.0/samples
$_SERVER['PWD'] => /home/ond1/work/repository/saxondev-12/build/releases/libsaxon-HEC-linux-v12.0/samples/saxon-he-php-demo-main
$_SERVER['OLDPWD'] => /home/ond1/work/repository/saxondev-12/build/releases/libsaxon-HEC-linux-v12.0/samples

I am running Ubuntu with PHP 8.1.11 (cli) (built: Sep 29 2022 22:29:14) (NTS)

I will try the docker image next.

Not getting any useful output when I run the php script

It was mentioned in bug issue #5856 that the libc6 is required by some systems. Please check if this is required for you too.

Also just to mention we have dropped the tracing flag argument in the setCatalog method. The following change is required in example.php:

$saxonProcessor->setCatalog(__DIR__ . '/catalog.xml');

I was able to reproduce the error using the docker image. In regards to comment #4 I tried with libc6 (glibc-devel) library, but still the same failure. My thinking now is we are failing to locate (link) the SaxonC library on the Fedora distribution.

In the docker script we copy the library with the command:

RUN cp libs/nix/libsaxon-hec-${SAXON_VER}.so /lib64

But not sure if PHP is picking this up.

Hello, O'Neil

Thanks for all these details. At first I placed in libsaxon-hec-12.0.so in /usr/lib and the library wasn't being picked up but after placing it in /lib64 it changed the error from not finding the library to not finding the symbol.

As for the sed(1) command you shared, after running it before compiling and running php -i I no longer see a warning about not finding the symbol and see the expected output:

$ php -i | grep axon
/etc/php.d/20-saxon.ini,
saxonc
saxonc => enabled
SaxonC API version => 12.0
PWD => /opt/saxon/libsaxon-HEC-linux-v12.0/samples/php
OLDPWD => /opt/saxon/libsaxon-HEC-linux-v12.0/samples
$_SERVER['PWD'] => /opt/saxon/libsaxon-HEC-linux-v12.0/samples/php
$_SERVER['OLDPWD'] => /opt/saxon/libsaxon-HEC-linux-v12.0/samples

I tried running the example.php file from the repository and see an error but honestly that's not my file, it's part of the original repository I forked so I'm not worried about it. I did, however, run the tests from samples/php and only the tests that require a license fail, so I consider this a win.

I'm gonna try and use this newly compiled version in my project and if I run into another error, I'll be sure to open another issue as I think you've already sorted out this one by the sed(1) command.

Thanks and have a great weekend! Juan Carlos
