PHP & mcrypt on Mac OS X

November 25th, 2008 by bbieber Leave a reply »

What a pain to get mcrypt installed supporting all the architectures Mac OS X needs. I could only compile with one architecture. I kept getting:
gcc-4.0: -E, -S, -save-temps and -M options are not allowed with multiple -arch flags
as well as:
configure: error: Sorry, I was not able to diagnose which libmcrypt version you have installed.

Well, the secret is –disable-dependency-tracking (more info here).

To build libmcrypt-
libmcrypt-2.5.8:

MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 \
CFLAGS='-O3 -fno-common -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc7400 -arch ppc64' \
LDFLAGS='-O3 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc7400 -arch ppc64' \
CXXFLAGS='-O3 -fno-common -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc7400 -arch ppc64' \
./configure --disable-dependency-tracking
make -j6
sudo make install

To build the mcrypt extension -
php-5.2.6/ext/mcrypt:

/usr/local/php5/bin/phpize
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 \
CFLAGS='-O3 -fno-common -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc7400 -arch ppc64' \
LDFLAGS='-O3 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc7400 -arch ppc64' \
CXXFLAGS='-O3 -fno-common -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc7400 -arch ppc64' \
./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/php5/bin/php-config
make -j6
sudo make install

mcrypt.so (162Kb MD5: 6801f7ea818954405028eeb68d59a5f6)

Here’s the address to download the extension http://saltybeagle.com/downloads/mcrypt.so

    Hi there –
    I got libmcrypt to compile just fine with vanilla configure, but mcrypt.so file doesn’t work.

    How (and with what source) did you compile it – I keep getting a cannot find config.m4 using mcrypt-2.6.8 source.

    I got the extension done using the php source, but get a load error. PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/mcrypt.so’ – (null) in Unknown on line 0

    Any thoughts?

    Michael,
    This guy…

    … says it is because you are running a 32 big .so on a 64 bit system.

    Thanks! This saved me a couple hours and some headache. :)

    Thanks Salty -

    I had to set the absolute path in php.ini:
    extension=/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/mcrypt.so
    Changing extension_dir from “./” to something else didn’t work.

    But doing that took down my server and nothing would load. The fix was uncommenting the timezone in php.ini:
    date.timezone = “US/Central”

    Don’t know why that worked but I had come across it on some site I’ve since lost

    Here’s some additional resources:
