Thanks a lot Jason! That's it!
I thought the applied patch will modify the configure script to make it
cygwin compatible...
In case that someone is interested in how to deal with this:
apply the patch:
patch -p0 < php-X-Y/CYGWIN-PATCHES/php-4.2.0-1.patch [2]
search for libpq.so in the configure script and simply rename it to
libpq.a.
The php-4.2.0-1.patch contains lines that check for libpq.a but they have no
effect on the configure script.
The next hurdle is the mkdll.sh command. I don't know how to add the
dependent pq.dll (/usr/bin) to the following command:
../../../CYGIN-PATCHES/mkdll.sh libsapi.la \
-L ../../../.libs -lphp4 \
/usr/bin/cyghttpd.dll [8]
It doesn't work that way:
../../../CYGIN-PATCHES/mkdll.sh libsapi.la \
-L ../../../.libs -lphp4 \
/usr/bin/cyghttpd.dll /usr/bin/pq.dll [8]
Any suggestions?
Andreas
