This patch has at least the following deficiences:
- the CGI is built using objects from another SAPI module.
This usually results in unsatisfied symbol references.
- the CGI makefile is not created properly
- building CGI cannot be disabled
* replaced --disable-pear with --with-pear=DIR (or --without-pear),
is backwards compatible
* use --datadir, --libdir and --sysconfdir configure options to determine
where PEAR files, shared extensions and php.ini goes
* simplified the extension version directory name
* Makefile header is now completely dynamic
* Absolute paths in (top_)?(src|build)dir and VPATH
(fixes Tru64 support)
* VPATH does not contain variables anymore
(fixes UnixWare support)
- 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.
