Hi,

Target Application: PHP-5.0.4

I'm trying to compile php to use shared libraries (i.e. not static) and have 
so far been unable to get it to recognise my options.


"...checking whether to build shared libraries... no
checking whether to build static libraries... yes.."

My build environment seems sane - I've managed to build shared libraries for 
lighttpd AND static ones for openSSH.

The options that I used are listed below.  I've experimented with using 
explicit definitions such as --enable-shared=yes and just --enabled-shared.  
I also tried explicitly defining the host value at compile time, still no 
change..

Below I have listed the extra packages not native to a standard build.  Has 
anyone run into this too?  If I were to jump to "cause", I'd suspect a 
crucial package not being present -although, I'd be interested to hear any 
feedback if anyone else has run into this.

BTW, I took at look at the mailing list definitions & this one seemed the 
best, if this is somewhat off topic, if you could point me in the right 
direction, that'd be ok too.

Thanks
kwok
