## #7201 — Blake Schwendiman — 2004-01-20T16:45:07+00:00

URL: https://externals.io/message/7201#7201

The config.m4 file that is currently shipping (php5-200401192230)
disallows configuring SPL as a shared module on non-Windows as shown
immediately below.  However, no such restriction is given for the
Windows configure (config.w32) shown further on.  Having built the
shared version for Windows, it also appears to work just fine.  Can
someone enlighten me as to whether SPL can/should be built as a shared
PHP module?
 
Thanks, 
Blake Schwendiman

The only reason it is currently possible to build SPL as shared extension
under windows is that i haven't yet the time to do the change. The problem
is that other modules will rely on SPL's classes and the current
infrastructure doesn't allow us enforece the requirements yet.


Best regards,
