To statically include the extension within the PHP build, put the extensions source into the ext/ directory found in the PHP source. For example:
$ cd /your/phpsrcdir/ext $ pear download extname $ gzip -d < extname.tgz | tar -xvf - $ mv extname-x.x.x extname $ rm package.xml |
This will result in the following directory:
/your/phpsrcdir/ext/extname |
From here, build PHP as normal:
$ cd /your/phpsrcdir $ ./buildconf --force $ ./configure --help $ ./configure --with-extname --enable-someotherext --with-foobar $ make $ make install |
Note: To run the 'buildconf' script you need autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.4+ (newer versions of autoconf may work, but are not supported).
Whether --enable-extname or --with-extname is used depends on the extension. Typically an extension that does not require external libraries uses --enable. To be sure, run the following after buildconf:
$ ./configure --help | grep extname |
