missing library or unsupported feature (especially GIF-Output)
will now give a slightly more usefull error message than eg.
" Call to undefined function: imagegif()"
(this seemed to confuse a lot of users ....)
The following new/revived shared modules are available now:
... MySQL (*)
... PCRE (*)
... Session
... SWF
(*) capable of using bundled library or external library
All changes:
The m4 macro PHP_EXTENSION was revamped. Uses LIB_BUILD now.
This effectively means that all extensions have to use dynlib.
ext/mysql/config.m4 was revamped.
Uses LIB_BUILD for building bundled library.
ext/pcre/config.m4 was revamped.
Uses LIB_BUILD for building bundled library.
ext/ext_skel was changed to reflect that more modules should be
compileable as shared module.
ext/Makefile.in has been simplified enormously.
Dependencies are now stored in the build tree.
Empty dependencies are not generated by buildconf anymore. They
are now dynamically created during the build process.
Implicit rules for .S were removed.
The NO_RECURSION feature was removed.
"libs.mk" has been added to all cvsignore files in ext.
- Unlike the other macros its argument has to have braces around it, for
- example, open(filename, flags) becomse V_OPEN((filename, flags))
- Made small conversion to new Zend macros. The ugly (*foo)->value.str.val
- now becomes Z_STRVAL_PP(foo). PP means pointer pointer, there also exist
- single P's for example foo->value.str.val becomes Z_STRVAL_P(foo).
* Makefile header is now completely dynamic
* Absolute paths in (top_)?(src|build)dir and VPATH
(fixes Tru64 support)
* VPATH does not contain variables anymore
(fixes UnixWare support)
Overall UNIX build system improvements:
* Makefile header is now completely dynamic
* Absolute paths in (top_)?(src|build)dir and VPATH
(fixes Tru64 support)
* VPATH does not contain variables anymore
(fixes UnixWare support)
