php_mapscript as dso and mapserv

[Steven Monai]

Paul:

I'm only somewhat "in the know", since I'm only a user and not a developer
of MapServer, but I have run into a problem similar to the one you
describe. I have found that building the php_mapscript module is somehow
incompatible with building the FastCGI mapserv executable. If I configure
both --with-php and --with-fastcgi at the same time, the mapserv FastCGI
consistently segfaults. So I set up my MapServer build-script to build them
separately in two passes.

In summary, I feel your pain, but a serviceable workaround seems to be to
configure and build the various parts (i.e. php_mapscript, CGI executable,
FastCGI executable) separately.
