rpm --ignoreos --ignorearch --nodeps --replacepkgs --oldpackage -hUv libiconv-1.14-3.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

#4 tonys code on fixing libiconv
ar -x /QOpenSys/usr/lib/libiconv.a
# Argh Matie, we be needin' to make a ugly baby to fool the IFS Kraken
cp /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv-lady-in-waiting.a
#ar -rv /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv-lady-in-waiting.a shr4.o

rm /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a
cp /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv-lady-in-waiting.a /opt/freeware/lib/libiconv.a

#5 change directory to where php-src was downloaded and go to the iconv extension directory
cd php-src/ext/iconv

#6 make a copy of our current iconv.so extension (so you can revert back if needed)
cp /usr/local/zendsvr/lib/php_extensions/iconv.so /usr/local/zendsvr/lib/php_extensions/iconv.so-orig

#7 setup environment variables for configure and make
export IBM_DB_HOME=/usr
export PHP_HOME=/usr/local/phpdave7
export PASE_TOOLS_HOME=/QOpenSys/usr
export AIX_TOOLS_HOME=/usr/local
export PATH=$PATH:$PHP_HOME/bin:$PASE_TOOLS_HOME/bin:$AIX_TOOLS_HOME/bin
export LIBPATH=$PHP_HOME/lib:$PASE_TOOLS_HOME/lib:$AIX_TOOLS_HOME/lib
export CC=gcc
export CFLAGS="-DPASE -I=.:$PHP_HOME/php/include"
export CCHOST=powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.0.0

#8 check the gcc version
gcc -v
  Target: powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.0.0 ... used in CCHOST above

#9 compile php extension by running:
#phpize, configure, gmake, gmake test, and gmake install
aclocal && phpize && ./configure --build=$CCHOST --host=$CCHOST --target=$CCHOST && gmake && gmake test && gmake install

#"gmake install"s it to /usr/local/phpdave7/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20160303/iconv.so

#10 -d will force temporary loading the extension (add extension=iconv.so to permenantly always load it)  --ri display the configuration of an extension
php -dextension=iconv.so --ri iconv 

#11 check what php extension modules are loaded
php -m

#12 edit php.ini to tell PHP to load iconv php extension by adding extension=iconv.so
echo "extension=iconv.so" >> /usr/local/lib/php.ini

#::NOTES::
#if you have two libiconv.a you'll have to fix that or the libpath might cause issues

#common symbolic links
#ln -sf /QOpenSys/opt/freeware/bin /usr/local/bin
#ln -sf /QOpenSys/opt/freeware/lib /usr/local/lib
#Rather not create hard links try and figure alternative
export PATH=/opt/freeware/bin:$PATH

#Had to remove LIBPATH w/ $PASE_TOOLS_HOME because it was using the wrong libiconv
#export LIBPATH=/usr/local/phpdave7/lib:/usr/local/lib 

#php -v                             
#Could not load program php:
#        Dependent module /QOpenSys/usr/lib/libiconv.a(libiconv.so.2) could not be loaded.
#        Member libiconv.so.2 is not found in archive 



##had to create symlink to glink.o which was missing when i started compiling
#ln -s /QOpenSys/usr/lib/glink.o /usr/lib/glink.o
