Subject: Support for C++ extension in UNIX builds
From: mes@zeroc.com ("Mark Spruiell")

I've written a PHP5 extension in C++ that builds great on Linux with GCC, whether I compile it
into PHP or build it as a shared library.

On Solaris with Sun CC, however, I've had to manually edit the Makefile or the libtool script in
order to successfully build my extension. When I compile the extension into PHP, I have to change
$(CC) to $(CXX) in certain places in the Makefile. When I build it as a dynamic library, I have to
edit libtool so that it uses $(CXX) and not ld to create the shared library.

Am I overlooking some configuration step that eliminates the need to manually edit these files?

Thanks,
- Mark
