compiling extension

Hi all, now I have only one really sucking problem: how I can compile extensions? I know that I am appearing a little bit stupid, just because of the hints of Derick an the others in a former thread... But I can't get it work... The core code of my extension (without any php-related stuff yet) laying in a external cvs tree. I just set up a proto file, and created a extension with it in the ext dir of my php-tree. Then I have copied the files out of the extension directory into the cvs dir where my code is laying. I thought that was a smart idea. According to Derick I phpized, configured an made it. Fine, the (empty) php-extension was compiled an everything seems right. But now I want to include and use my code. A simple inclusion of my header throws make errors. Expectable, I know. *where the hell I have to put my include and libary paths in???* And does php compile then also as a static apache module with my extensions? Getting tired Ron
