This hack will catch the resulting shared library anyway.
The Right Way to approach this is to fix libtool to properly
handle -module on all platforms.
This is important, because the system checks will yield different
results depending on whether POSIX threads are enabled or not.
We also use PTHREADS_CFLAGS only in ZTS mode now. Using these flags
in non-ZTS mode causes complete build failures on some platforms
(i.e. FreeBSD 2.2.x). This will cause harmless warnings on some
platforms (i.e. Solaris 2).
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.
There are 2-3 third-party libs in PHP which use DEBUG and I left them
this way (primary example is pcrelib).
- Please test things and Andrei, can you check that pcrelib stopped
printing the warning messages?
There ulong was defined to `unsigned long long' resulting
in compile-time problems in libmysql. The client library
uses `ulong' an `unsigned long' interchangeable.
The removed tests are performed by the Zend library, thus
this change has no negative impact.

1) Restore the ability to build CGI as a shared library
2) Correct make dependency rule so that the jar files are included
3) Search for jar executable, and use it, if found
Left TODO: actually build the shared libraries
- 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.
