There are extensions that search only *.so libs. To PHP Developers: do we really support both static and dynamic libs? I would like to support only dynamic lib...
Why? It's very easy to add the additional check in the configure script,
Adding/linking with static lib is easy, but there is other issue. (i.e. symbol problem) For ming, it may be ok since the lib is used only with ming extension. It will not be used by other extension in the future. (gd extension can link with static lib also)
and seems to work fine on the last version of php that I can get to compile (4.0.6). The new version (4.1.1) has other unrelated problems. I know they are unrelated because I turned off libming support and they didn't go away. Besides, some platforms and compilers either can't build shared libs, or have problems doing so.
