I am looking to improve the speed at which php executes through apache (and using a static module seemed to be helpful in PHP4).
I don't see any explaination of how to build a non-pic (position independent code) dso for apache on the PHP website.
Do I just add the option "--with-pic" to do that?
Thanks,
seth

PHP5 does not support being built as a static module. There is really
no reason to build it that way anymore. If you think you need it for
performance reasons, just build a non-pic dso which gives you the exact
same performance of the static module without the bother of having to
recompile Apache.
