Changing the soname of libphp4.so

Nothing seemed to work, I tried adding that (and a few variations)
before ./configure line and also tried editing the config.m4 for the
sapi and adding it there.

I did get it to work by hand editing the Makefile and changing the
libphp4.la action. I changed:

-o $@
to
-o libphp4-embed.la

and on the second line I changed:

libphp4.la
to
libphp4-embed.la

and it worked, so at least I have a way to do it. If there is an
easier way to do it I would like to know, but at least I have a work
around.

Thanks,

Brian

Hey Brian,

Would something as simple as this:

LDFLAGS="-soname=libphp4-embed.so" ./configure ...

work ?

--Wez.

Subject: [PHP-DEV] Changing the soname of libphp4.so

Is there a easy way to change the internal soname?

I need to build the embeded sapi with a different internal soname.
Yes, I can rename libphp4.so (the embeded version) to
libphp4-embed.so,
but things that link with libphp4-embed.so will have a dependency of
libphp.so because that is what the internal soname is. This is
causing
problems because it will then load the wrong shared library (wrong
sapi) if we have libphp4-embed.so and libphp4.so (apache sapi).

If there is no easy way, can you give me pointers on what I need to
patch/hack to get it to work. I will just maintain another company
specific patch.

Thanks,

Brian
