RE: what replaced --activate-module?

[Rasmus Lerdorf <ra...@lerdorf.ca>]

There is no static library support for PHP with Apache 2 at this point.
ie. you can only build using --with-apxs2 (if you are lucky)

Sometime down the road we will probably add this, but it definitely will
not be in 4.2.  Perhaps 4.3.

It's not actually that hard to do it manually. While trying to debug PHP
(results reported earlier) I made a fully static Apache+PHP by doing the
following:

- Make a normal Apache2 build.
- Build (but don't install) PHP using --with-apxs2
- edit modules.c,
  - add the declaration "extern module php4_module;"
  - add php4_module to the ap_prelinked_modules & ap_preloaded_modules
lists.
- edit build/config_vars.mk,
  - add the full path to libphp4.la to BUILTIN_LIBS
  - Add to EXTRA_LIBS any libraries in PHP's config_vars.mk:EXTRA_LIBS
- run make again for Apache2

Well, it sounds like a bit of work when spelt out but it seemed pretty easy
when I did it :)
