Error when installing sqlsrv and pdo_sqlsrv in php8+ apache docker image

[andremartinez]

PHP version
Tested for PHP within docker images php:8.1-apache and php:8.2-apache

PHP SQLSRV or PDO_SQLSRV version
Both stable (5.10.1) sqlsrv pdo_sqlsrv and beta (5.11.0beta1) sqlsrv pdo_sqlsrv

Microsoft ODBC Driver version
Versions msodbcsql18 and msodbcsql17 for ubuntu/20.04

Problem description
Installation in a Dockerfile using pecl is failing with the following message:

#0 15.28 libtool: link: warning: library `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libodbc.la' was moved.
#0 15.29 grep: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libltdl.la: No such file or directory

--------------------
ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c pecl install sqlsrv" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1
ERROR: Service 'server' failed to build : Build failed

This problem is very likely to be related to the issue #1436 as the workaround mentioned there (using specific versions for some libraries) works for me as well

Expected behavior and actual behavior
Another test I ran was to try and compile the extension, the steps were:

1. Run the php:8.1-apache docker image, and get into it using exec to bash
2. Download the source code for the sqlsrv module and unzip it.
3. apt-get update && apt-get install -y unixodbc-dev libltdl-dev libodbc1
4. cd into the pdo_sqlsrv-5.10.1 directory (the source code)
5. Run the phpize command to generate the necessary build files.
6. Run the ./configure script to configure the build options.
7. Run the make command to compile the module

The error message at this point is exactly the same.

Repro code or steps to reproduce

Create a Dockerfile with the following content then build it:

FROM php:8.1-apache

I'm not sure what's happening at a glance, but does /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libltdl.la exist? And if so, what are the contents of it? If it doesn't then there maybe some issue with libltdl-dev installation (it's supposed to come from that package)

Hello @v-makouz , answering:

I'm not sure what's happening at a glance, but does /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libltdl.la exist? And if so, what are the contents of it?

I double checked it now, and no It's not present

If it doesn't then there maybe some issue with libltdl-dev installation (it's supposed to come from that package)

I tried the workaround suggested here (#1436 installing the version 2.3.7 of unixodbc-dev) and it worked, so my guess is that this library installs libltdl-dev and the most recent version of either of them got rid of .la files.

What I have no idea about is how these files are related to the process of compiling sqlsrv and pdo_sqlsrv, but as I said I tried to compile the sqlsrv.so locally and got this same error

Appears to be a new issue caused by something being upgraded in the last couple of days. Hopefully it gets reverted as the fix in #1436 breaks the script for ARM processors (the bug hasn't affected ARM). If this change is here to stay it will require different install scripts for ARM and AMD for myself and many others.

edit The below works for both CPU architectures and means if they fix the issue it'll go back to using unixodbc-dev like before.

I used the fix here #1436 (comment)

Thanks for the allow-downgrades tip!!

Built Docker image for Debian 11 with PHP 8.1 and 8.2 with pdo_sqlsrv-5.11.0. Below my two cent contribution, the Dockerfile links. Please note, I have not tested the connection to the database.

Can't believe this still hasn't been fixed yet months later

Can't believe this still hasn't been fixed yet months later

I tested with php:8.1-apache today and can't reproduce the error. What's the error message you get?

[reinierpost]

I'm having the same issue today on Ubuntu 22.04 (with PHP 8.1).
