Hello,
I’m trying to build the mssql.so extension for PHP5 in SLES11 x86\_64.
I have a copy of the source RPM of PHP5 from the SDK, and I have all of
the dev tools installed (I believe). I also have installed FreeTDS
already.
I have found some instructions on the web that seem pretty
straightforward. Go to the extension source directory for mssql and run
phpize. Configure the PHP5 build with mssql pointing at the FreeTDS
location. Then run make. I don’t get any errors, but they only thing
that is created is an mssql.lo. I can’t find an mssql.so file
anywhere.
Have I missed a step? Is there a better process to run?

A colleague was able to get the extension compiled. The instructions
were correct except for one addition: he ran a ‘make dist clean’ before
compiling. Must have been some caveat in the provided Novell source.
