Bug #3646: Can't seem to build php4 as DSO with RPM version of Apache

From: frampton@LinuxNinja.com Operating system: Red Hat Linux 6.1 PHP version: 3.0.15 PHP Bug Type: Installation problem Bug description: Can't seem to build php4 as DSO with RPM version of Apache This is for PHP4 beta 4 pl 1 (no pull-down for "PHP version" above). I have successfully compiled and installed PHP 3 as a DSO on several Red Hat systems with Apache and Apache-devel from RPM. if I try to do this using PHP 4, I am unsuccessful. I tried: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql After configure, I do a "make" and "make install". Only a libphp4.a file is built, however, and it is *not* installed -- it is located in /usr/local/src/ php4b4pl1/lib and I would have to move it by hand to use it. I checked the Makefile, and it seems to be missing any reference for creating a .so file. In addition, it might be missing "install-modules" reference (it seems to specify install-local and install-modules, and only install-local is defined in the Makefile. Comparing with the Makefile from PHP3, it is obvious that some reference to create the .so file would be necessary. I had no choice but to rpm -e apache apache-devel, download and compile Apache from source, and then proceed with PHP4 compilation. Then all is well. Could the developers please get PHP4 installation with stock apache RPM's as painless as it is with PHP3? Thanks...
