Hi All,
I could not build exif and sockets extension as a shared extension(Our
php set up is like windows PHPTS).

With the current config.m4 I get link failure stating that php5lib not
found.

PHP_SUBST(SOCKETS_SHARED_LIBADD)
PHP_SUBST(EXIF_SHARED_LIBADD) in the corresponging config.m4 files would
do the needful.

Patch is available at,
http://puggy.symonds.net/~kameshj/sockets.config.m4.patch
http://puggy.symonds.net/~kameshj/exif.config.m4.patch

Can I checkin this?

With regards
Kamesh Jayachandran

     Neither of the extensions in questions use any external
     libraries so those lines are unnecessary.

Hi Jani,
In NetWare all extensions/sapis need the php5lib(Core php shared
library) which won't be available for these binaries to be linked
without the following lines(in PHP_SHARED_MODULE of acinclude.m4 we set
MODULE_SHARED_LIBADD),

PHP_SUBST(SOCKETS_SHARED_LIBADD)
PHP_SUBST(EXIF_SHARED_LIBADD)

Can i checkin this?

With regards

Stupid system it is. :)
     You should handle this differenly but I don't care.
     Just add those lines if you can't come up with some better
     solution.
