The following new/revived shared modules are available now:
... MySQL (*)
... PCRE (*)
... Session
... SWF
(*) capable of using bundled library or external library
All changes:
The m4 macro PHP_EXTENSION was revamped. Uses LIB_BUILD now.
This effectively means that all extensions have to use dynlib.
ext/mysql/config.m4 was revamped.
Uses LIB_BUILD for building bundled library.
ext/pcre/config.m4 was revamped.
Uses LIB_BUILD for building bundled library.
ext/ext_skel was changed to reflect that more modules should be
compileable as shared module.
ext/Makefile.in has been simplified enormously.
Dependencies are now stored in the build tree.
Empty dependencies are not generated by buildconf anymore. They
are now dynamically created during the build process.
Implicit rules for .S were removed.
The NO_RECURSION feature was removed.
"libs.mk" has been added to all cvsignore files in ext.
* 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.
@Made mysql and gd work as shared extensions again (Stig)
- Fixed some warnings in maintainer-mode.
- Made mysql and gd work as shared extensions again by defining
COMPILE_DL if PIC is defined.
# We need a better solution for building .so extensions than this
# PIC/COMPILE_DL hack!
always properly set, it's a TODO for all of us). This enables us to implement
true 'use' support.
@- Added support for the 'use' keyword - behaves like 'require', but will not
@ use the same file more than once (Andi & Zeev, Zend library)
necessary, because we can change the value of INCLUDES globally in one
place (configure.in).
Also add two defines in thread-safe mode
(_REENTRANT and POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS)
automatically, if a shared library is built. This would lead
to multiple definitions of get_module(). If you want to build
modules, add -DCOMPILE_DL to your CFLAGS.
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
* There are now -I directives for the absolute path of php4, php4/libzend and the builddir for
the Apache module, so we can #include any php/Zend header.
* Rename config.h to php_config.h
* Fully implement ISAPI support - POST and cookies among other things.
* Almost completely rewrote phpinfo(). Allow modules to easily display their
information in phpinfo() without modifying phpinfo() itself (prototype for
the module info function was changed, thus the large amount of updated module
files).
* Initial extended SAPI support for Apache, completely untested.
* CGI now uses SAPI fully as well.
sub-directories and started to move extension code into ext/<name>. For now,
I have moved the "standard" extension (which is quite a mix of everything
right now) and the GD extension into their own subdirs in ext/.
The configure script now also runs configure in the libzend directory
automatically and makes sure php4 and libzend use the same config.cache file.
To avoid running configure in libzend, use the --no-recursion option.
"make" in php4 also builds libzend now.
The Apache module doesn't compile right now, but a fix for that is
coming up.
