It would be nicer if you compiled it into a shared library (libc-client.so
or something ? :)), then your imap packages would depend on them, pine
too, probably, and I'd link php3-imap against it too -> this is what
shared libraries are for :) But actually a simple static .a file is enough
for me to compile php3-imap
