PHP 5.2.17 on Debian Wheezy 7: Solve make error in xp_ssl.c

When I tried to compile PHP 5.2.17 (I know, I know, it's EOL!) on a Debian Wheezy machine, 'make' ends with the following error message:

 ext/openssl/.libs/xp_ssl.o: In function `php_openssl_setup_crypto':
/root/downloads/php-5.2.17/ext/openssl/xp_ssl.c:337: undefined reference to `SSLv2_client_method'
/root/downloads/php-5.2.17/ext/openssl/xp_ssl.c:357: undefined reference to `SSLv2_server_method'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [sapi/cli/php] Error 1

According to PHP bug #54736, this is because the new Debian system has a newer libssl without SSLv2 support.

To still be able to finish the compile process, I needed to manually apply the following patch:

I saved it as xp_ssl.patch and applied it on xp_ssl.c:

patch xp_ssl.c xp_ssl.patch

Hunk #2 succeeded at 354 (offset 4 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 583 (offset -50 lines).
Hunk #4 succeeded at 819 (offset -98 lines).

The diff looked like this:

diff xp_ssl.c xp_ssl.c.orig

< #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_SSL2

< #endif

Right after I launched make again and received this error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lltdl
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libphp5.la] Error 1

Well that was a bit easier to solve as it was only a package missing:

apt-get install libltdl-dev libltdl7

After that, make worked as it should:

make
[...]
Build complete.
Don't forget to run 'make test'.
