I found a similar hint in the php docs:

./libtool --mode=link gcc -L/usr/path/to/freetdsl/lib -lsybdb -I.
-I/usr/src/php-devel -DEAPI -g -02 -o php_mssql.la  -avoid-version
-module -rpath /usr/src/php-devel/ext/mssql/modules php_mssql.lo 

After some localisation/tweaking I managed to get this to run (sort
of...) but the finished "product" (mssql.so) did not load when php
started, php complained that it did not look lika a php library


The source for the mssql extension sits in /tmp/php-4.1.2/ext/mssql/
The freeTDS libs live in /usr/local/freedts/lib/

What would a correct libtool command like the above look like?
