That would mean adding exactly the reverse set of #defines to allow the the GD extension to be built against an external copy of libgd (which of course won't use the phpgd_* symbols). Given that a complete set of #defines is needed anyway, doing it without modifying libgd makes more sense since it's then easier to track the upstream libgd sources. joe -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
