nmake command exiting with non-zero status on Windows container

[aravindjayanthi98]

I am trying to build a windows docker container where php is compiled along with couchbase extension. To do the compilation, I am following this resource.

My Environment:

OS: Windows servercore 2022 (On docker)
Php: 8.4.3 NTS, Debug
Arch: x64
VS: 17

Issue description:

As a first step, I was able to build and compile plain php-src from scratch using the php-sdk. Now, I am having issues adding the couchbase extension. Initially, I tried adding the precompiled DLLs to the extension directory but whatever, I have tried I got the error:

Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'couchbase' (tried: C:\php\Debug\couchbase (The specified module could not be found), C:\php\Debug\php_couchbase.dll (The specified module could not be found)) in Unknown on line 0

Since, I could not resolve this error, I tried compiling the extension from source code. For compilation, I have downloaded the source code from pecl website for 4.2.5 version. The configure (with --enable-couchbase flag) command is working fine. After that when nmake command is being executed, I am seeing the following error:

cl : Command line error D8016 : '/O2' and '/RTC1' command-line options are incompatible
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.42.34433\bin\Hostx64\x64\cl.exe" @C:\Users\ContainerAdministrator\AppData\Local\Temp\nmC99.tmp' : return code '0x2'

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe" --build "C:\php\Debug\cmake-build" --verbose' : return code '0x2'

Please let me know if there is any fix for this issue? Thanks in advance.

Hi @aravindjayanthi98, we have our build steps for Windows automated here. Could you check if you can reproduce them in your environment?

Hello @avsej, thank you for the response, I am able to replicate the pipeline and found that the key difference between couchbase's pipeline and mine is --enable-debug flag. I have used --enable-debug flag for the configure command, if I remove that and run the build everything works fine and I am able to see couchbase extension in the installed modules.

Since, my requirement is to run the build in debug mode, is there anything I could do to fix the above error?

Just for additional context, I am providing the steps I have done to run the build:

WORKDIR C:\php_ext_deps
# Installing NASM for couchbase
ADD https://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/2.16.03/win64/nasm-2.16.03-win64.zip .\nasm-2.16.03-win64.zip
RUN powershell "Expand-Archive nasm-2.16.03-win64.zip" `
    && move .\nasm-2.16.03-win64\nasm-2.16.03 .\nasm `
    && rmdir .\nasm-2.16.03-win64 /q `
    && del .\nasm-2.16.03-win64.zip `
    && powershell "[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('PATH', 'C:\php_ext_deps\nasm\;' + $env:PATH , 'Machine')"
WORKDIR C:\php-sdk\phpdev\vs${VS_VERSION}\${ARCH}\php-${PHP_VERSION}-src\ext

    && del .\couchbase.tgz `

RUN buildconf --force `
    `
    # Need to create this directory as it is not the default one provided by the php-sdk
    && mkdir "%PHP_OUT_DIR%" `
    && configure --help > config-flags.txt | type config-flags.txt
RUN configure --enable-debug --enable-couchbase --with-mp=auto --enable-object-out-dir=%PHP_OUT_DIR% --with-php-build=..\deps %PHP_PARAMETERS% `
    && nmake

Thank you for details, @aravindjayanthi98. I think I need to update build scripts to propagate flags, generated by --enable-debug down to all build scripts of the extension. I will get back to this issue when I will prepare next release, and meanwhile will keep this ticket open.
