- added support for externally built modules,
- improved support for in-tree shared modules,
- fixed diversion bugs,
- configure displays some informative messages,
- faster static build
(libtool isn't used anymore for compiling non-PIC objects),
- dependencies comparable to automake's without requiring GNU make or GCC,
- working make clean for non-GNU makes.
system, apache, or php's regex library by using the --with-regex option.
"php" is the default; if you use --with-apache in combination with
Apache 1.3.x, the default is "apache".
with libtool components
* SAPI targets can enable thread-safe mode and define
shared/static/program build target
* all configure scripts use the same config.cache
* phplibdir is $(top_builddir)/modules to avoid
permission problems
* sapi/*/Makefile.inc are gone
* runpath handling cleaned up
* top-level Makefile.in obsoleted through Makefile.am
* --enable-versioning uses libtool's cleaner and more
portable -export-symbols feature
extensions you are including. Got rid of configure.in.in.
Moved the last Apache-specific files into sapi/apache and made both
static and DSO build work again (it still doesn't run properly).
- improve genif.sh to also consider all header files for inclusion
(checks for phpext_)
- use vsnprintf in main.c to avoid buffer overflows
- improve sessions's mm module to cope better with OOM situations
within the shared memory segment
- fix typo wrt session.auto_start
Examples on how to test:
./configure --with-xml static
./configure --with-xml=/opt static
./configure --with-xml=shared shared
./configure --with-xml=shared,/opt shared
The difference between these two is that when the extension is shared, it
is not merged into libphpext.a. The shared extension is currently always
built. I can't find a way to do just one or the other with automake/libtool,
if someone has a clever idea, please come forward. :-)
"make install" installs the .so (as well as a lot of other cruft) in
$prefix/lib/php.
