You might find that you need to build a PECL extension statically into your
PHP binary. To do this, you'll need to place the extension source under
the php-src/ext/ directory and tell the PHP build
system to regenerate its configure script.
$ cd /your/phpsrcdir/ext
$ pear download extname
$ gzip -d < extname.tgz | tar -xvf -
$ mv extname-x.x.x extname |
This will result in the following directory:
/your/phpsrcdir/ext/extname |
From here, force PHP to rebuild the configure script, and then build PHP as normal:
$ cd /your/phpsrcdir
$ rm configure
$ ./buildconf --force
$ ./configure --help
$ ./configure --with-extname --enable-someotherext --with-foobar
$ make
$ make install |
Note:
To run the 'buildconf' script you need autoconf 2.13 and automake 1.4+
(newer versions of autoconf may work, but are not supported).
Whether --enable-extname or --with-extname
is used depends on the extension. Typically an extension that
does not require external libraries uses --enable. To be
sure, run the following after buildconf:
$ ./configure --help | grep extname |
