For the long term, the first option is more viable (as a benefit you get transparent versioning). > and why abs_srcdir is needed. From configure.in.in: abs_srcdir=(cd $srcdir; pwd) ... VERSION_SCRIPT="-Wl,--version-script=\$(abs_srcdir)/php.map" I don't see any compelling reason why you couldn't simply substitute abs_srcdir directly. -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant
