Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] OS X, enable embed problem, patch
From: cthompson@nexopia.com (Christopher Thompson)

I don't want libphp.so as we are not using Apache.

The brief details are roughly as follows:
- we use lighthttpd for a web server
- much of our site is in Php
- we are transitioning to Ruby
- we have a custom-written wrapper to allow Php to run inside of Ruby, 
to make the transition a little easier

Now, this wrapper needs to link to php.  On Windows and Linux, that's 
easy.  But on OS X, if we end up with libphp5.so, the link step fails. 
With a dylib, though, the link step succeeds and life is good, if a 
little bit rainy.

It is very possible that we actually want a static build.  I'm new at 
nexopia and previous people who had tried this reported some problems, 
though this could have been on an unrelated matter.  On the other hand, 
./configure --enable-embed=shared (or just --enable-embed) fails during 
the linking step as documented by the bug I linked to, 44462.

I freely admit to not being totally up to speed on OS X build 
environments.  Until last week, I just sort of assumed OS X used .so 
files for everything.  In other words, the problem here may be my 
expectations, and I would love to be educated on this matter.  Still, 
the patch I've attached, generating a dylib, does solve the specific 
problem I'm trying to solve.

While I was expecting "auto" tools to take care of the shared library 
issue, php-5.2.5 still seems to attempt to build an .so file on OS X, 
fails (with --enable-embed), and regardless, _I_ suspect should be 
generating a dylib for me anyway.
