[PHP-DEV] Static library binding

Hi,

I have a kind of stupid question. I run PHP inside a fpm chroot jail for a
lot of vhosts, each vhost with it's own pool. Unfortunatley, I can't
connect to remote domains neither via the native file api (assumed
allow_url_fopen is on) nor via curl. I don't want to copy all the libs into
the jails. So, is there an easy way to link the needed dns libs statically
to PHP? For ease of use, this could be a nice configure parameter, like
"link it chroot compatible". It must, of course, be made clear that the
user is responsible for security updates of the libraries.

Thanks
Robert

A couple of intelligent hard links in your jails should take care of
this. It isn't generally feasible to statically link everything because
many libraries are only installed by default as shared and you can't
link a shared library statically. You need to install a static version
of each library you need first.
