Once you have the source on your drive and decompressed, you'll need to run the PHP configure script. To
keep things simple, this first time around, I'll use a very basic config. cd into your PHP source
directory and run:
./configure --with-mysql --with-gettext
and then:
make
make install
And you should be all set to run PHP via command line.
Installing PHP-Gtk
Once you have PHP installed, it's time to move on to PHP-Gtk. This is the part that can sometimes be a bit
tricky. If you run into a roadblock, I recommend just starting over and be sure to include all the steps. I
once spent hours trying to track down an issue and it turned out that I had forgotten to run buildconf beforehand.
Provided all the planets are aligned, the install should be very simple if you follow all the steps below.
cd into your PHP-Gtk directory and run:
./buildconf
If you see feedback saying you should run aclocal then, you guessed it, run aclocal:
aclocal
now:
./configure
and finally:
make
make install
This should take care of the basic PHP-Gtk functionality and the normal PHP functions.
