The PHP source archive bundles several extensions under the ext/ directory, these are the extensions are listed when you run ./configure --help I don't understand why you want your extension to show up there, but to do so you have to place your extension in that folder and run ./buildconf --force PHP will not automatically scan your filesystem for possible extension directories to list them under ./configure I'm sure you have seen, and used, http://pecl.php.net - these extensions don't show up when you build PHP. The standard way to build "external" extensions however is to use pecl, or manually build them as shared modules (as you did first). -Hannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
