PHP install on Solaris 2.8... help?

[Anon]

Hi,

I'm purchasing a small Sun box that's running Solaris v2.8. My engineer has said that he'd prefer to have compiled binaries, but I have been unable to find anything of the sort.

Does anyone know if there's pre-compiled binary for Sol v2.8, or perhaps of a good "how to" instruction sheet on compiling this ourselves?

Many Thanks,
Joe

As far as I know, there are no package binaries for solaris,but I found this:

http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/openpkg/release/1.0/BIN/php-4.0.6-1.0.0.sparc64.html

I'm not familiar with 2.8, but maybe its useful..

For the hard way, get the sources:
http://www.php.net/downloads.php

Requirements:

hope this helps
