Re: no longer urgent compilation question

Use the source.. :) By adding PHP_ADD_LIBRARY(yoursharedlibname,, YOUREXTENSION_SHARED_LIBADD) into config.m4 you would get what you want. Or by using PHP_ADD_LIBRARY_WITH_PATH() if your library is not in the libpath. e.g. PHP_ADD_LIBRARY_WITH_PATH(bz2, $BZIP_DIR/lib, BZ2_SHARED_LIBADD) --Jani On Wed, 22 Aug 2001, md wrote: >I recently posted an urgent compilation question to the list >requesting information about linking in external shared libraries >to libphp4.so. > >This issue is no longer urgent. > >If one modifies the follwing line to /php/Makefile : > >LTLIBRARY_LIBADD = $(LTLIBRARY_DEPENDENCIES) $(EXTRA_LIBS) >-lmysharedlibraryname > >The unresolved references would be discovered at link time. > >Unfortunately, this is probably not the place for me to instruct the >linker >to find the unresolved references for my specific module, but it gets >the job done. > >I guess the m4 macro file config.m4, >but I cannot even begin to decipher the GNU m4 macro script, >so I will just stick to C code. > >While I am sure the use of autoconf, automake, and libtool greatly >facilitate >the building of cross-platform PHP, those tools are just as obfuscate as >any I have >seen.
