Hi, After installing PHP on a Windows machine I see a very small PHP-executable and several extension dll's that can be loaded. When I build PHP on a QNX machine I get one huge executable of 8.6 MB. Is it possible to build something similar to the Windows version?

yes, by specifying to ./configure that it should build shared extensions or those extensions that allow it. so the relevant ./configure options will look something like:

    --enable-foo=shared,/path/to/libs

I tried that but it didn't work.

didn't work in what way?

what's your configure line look like right now? PS - I'd never heard of QNX - just looked it up - interested to know what your doing with it and php.

I have an embedded system with an sqlite database. I want a web interface that shows database info and maybe system info.

cool :-)

PPS - Is a single large binary any worse than a smaller binary that loads in a bunch of extensions (assuming the same extensions in each case), won't the memory footprint be near enough the same for each?

It seems that my system has a problem with loading large binaries. It would be nice if I could decide in the ini file which extensions will be loaded (I am not sure which extensions I need). I use the shttpd web server. This one does not support fast cgi. Loading a large cgi interpreter each time slows down my system.

ok - seems like you will only be needing a small subset of the available extensions. have you tried using --disable-all and then only enabling the extensions you really need, It may get the binary size down to a usable level.
