Topic: Building PHP from Source

[pnllan]

Steffen,

I followed the 'cookbook' that PHP provides for 'building from source'.

It seems there is obviously more to it than what they describe.

Can you provide some pointers or clues?

Thanks

[Steffen]

Indeed there is more to it, to get it build with VC 2005.

I spend tons of time to get the wright (up-to-date) external libraries, includes and header files.

I managed now that I can build php 5+ without any change to the php source.

As this subject is off-topic, you can mail me for more info.

Yeah, after seeing the ALL errors generated from VC 2005 as well as from the command-line, I soon realized that the documentation was pretty bogus.

I thought it might be a little 'off-topic', but since the SAPI module requires the presence of HTTPD I thought I might ask.

I'll email you for some of the details.

Thanks
.

Just found a site with up-to-date external libraries, includes and header files: http://ftp.emini.dk/pub/php/win32/ .

It is the file zip.zip . Replace in there the 2.2.0 libs and includes (in folder \php_build\apache2 and \php5.1.2\php_build\lib\apache2 and \php_build\include\apache2 0. Note: you must rename first the libs from your 2.2.0 by removing the "-1" from the name.


Works here fine with php 5.1.x

Update:

The 5.2 source contains the Apache 2.2. headers, so you do not have to change anything in the above zip.

The generated .dll is there called php5apache2_2.dll

Hi Steffen...

I have download zip.zip from http://ftp.emini.dk/pub/php/win32/ and extract them

in php 5 manual, i have to do this step

C:\work
|
|---bindlib_w32
|
|---php-5.1.4
|
|---win32build

And i have extract zip.zip become

C:\dev

My Apache2 at C:\Apache2

What i must to do with C:\dev ? copy into C:\work\php-5.1.4 or all folder at C:\work i must copy to C:\dev ?

[Steffen]

Extract the php_build and template folder in the /dev from the zip.zip to php_build and template folder below:


C:\work
|
|---bindlib_w32
|
|---php-5.3.x
|
|---win32build
|
|---php_build
|
|---template

Use php 5.2.x source from http://snaps.php.net/ , with this source you do not have to change anything in the zip.zip.

I have success build Apache with openssl and PHP-5.1.4 with your guide.
