SV: [PECL-DEV] Specifying static libraries in config.m4

I have been too busy to test it more. The problem I had/ve was that when using the PHP_ADD_LIBRARY_WITH_PATH it ends up in the Makefile as, for example, -L/usr/local/mylib -lmylib Whereas I only want it to be included in the link process as normal object files are. Maybe PHP_ADD_LIBRARY_WITH_PATH is wrong for doing that? If it matters I'm on Tru64 V5.1 2650 alpha using cc/cxx. I'm using autoconf 2.59, automake 1.9.2 libtool 1.5.10 and m4 1.4.2 - and I know about the cache issue but it doesn't seem to be a "real" problem.

I can indeed confirm that it works for static libraries. The related problem that I've been having, however, is checking for static libraries in config.m4. The build process works fine but I'm having to use the following hack using LDFLAGS to prevent PHP_CHECK_LIBRARY failing with unresolved references to symbols in libneo_utl.a. old_LDFLAGS=$LDFLAGS LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -Wl,--whole-archive -lneo_utl -Wl,--no-whole-archive" PHP_CHECK_LIBRARY(neo_cs, cs_init, [ PHP_ADD_LIBRARY_WITH_PATH(neo_cs, $CLEARSILVER_LIBDIR, CLEARSILVER_SHARED_LIBADD) ],[ AC_MSG_ERROR(Could not find Neotonic libneo_cs library) ],[ -L$CLEARSILVER_LIBDIR ]) LDFLAGS=$old_LDFLAGS My question is: is there a more portable way of doing this (using LIBTOOL, for instance)? The following Makefile shows how I successfully compile the extension manually. CS_DIR=/usr/local all: clearsilver.so clearsilver.so: clearsilver.o ld -shared -L$(CS_DIR)/lib --whole-archive -lneo_utl -lneo_cs --no-whole-archive -o clearsilver.so clearsilver.o clearsilver.o: clearsilver.c php_clearsilver.h gcc -fpic -DCOMPILE_DL_CLEARSILVER=1 -I. -I../.. -I../../Zend -I../../TSRM -I../../main -I$(CS_DIR)/include/ClearSilver -c -o clearsilver.o clearsilver.c Sources and details of the extension can be found at <http://www.geodata.soton.ac.uk/software/php_clearsilver>. This is my first extension so all feedback is welcome!
