FYI what I'm doing basically amounts to: autoreconf --verbose --force ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-layout=GNU --libexecdir=/usr/lib/apache --sysconfdir=/etc/php4 --with-config-file-path=/etc/php4 \ --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs \ --disable-ipv6 --disable-debug --without-pear --disable-cli --enable-sockets \ --with-mysql --with-zlib --with-bz2 2>configure.stderr |tee configure.stdout && \ make 2>make.stderr |tee make.stdout cd libs ../../mkdll.sh libphp4.la -L . -lphp4 -lcrypt -lminires -lintl -lz -lbz2 /usr/bin/libhttpd.dll strip cygphp4.dll apxs -i -a -n php4 cygphp4.dll ...which seems to work fine - doesn't even require a rebase. However, if I do any "--with-foo=shared" then I get *.a in the ./modules dir, which if copied to the extensions_dir (/usr/lib/php/20020429) cannot be loaded if enabled in php.ini. They are archive files, not dlls, so naturally you get an error when you try to dlopen() them. I've tried using a similar mkdll.sh invocation on these *.a files and it produces *.dll, but they do not load either. For packaging's sake it would be really nice to get these loadable modules working, otherwise you're stuck having to compile php with a fixed set of options.
