Thanks Dane. I have no reason to believe it won't work on Linux as it's quite straightforward C++. I have yet to try it though. The PHP build infrastructure takes care of building extensions, it's a matter of setting up a few (I think) m4 macros to link in the correct libraries. I have made my own Visual Studio-based build system for some extra flexibility, ease of use from within VS and to learn the details of the dependencies, but the preferred way forward (for deployment/distribution) is to integrate it with the PHP build system like other extensions.
I haven't had much time lately though as my first daughter was born last Thursday. Things are starting to settle down now so I hope to have an hour left and right again over the next couple of weeks to flesh out the remaining objects to wrap. After that I'll set up an easier to use build system, focusing on Linux I think because the majority of use cases will be on Linux (I have a project idea that would require deployment on Linux so I have an incentive to get this working). I'll report back. I also have a question: as I'm pouring over the API, I'm coming across a number of oddities that (I think) would be nice to fix in 2.0. It's things like inconsistent naming, functions that are 'missing' (for example there are ways to get complete collections of objects in some places and only item by item in others), inconsistent use of shared_ptr etc. I haven't investigated in how far those have been addressed in 2.0. Has there been any work on this? I'm keeping track of them as I find them, would you like me to post or is API stability very important for 2.0 and will there only be function name changes when really necessary? cheers, roel On Sat, Feb 19, 2011 at 1:43 AM, Dane Springmeyer <[email protected]> wrote: > Roel, > > This is really impressive, nice job! > > Do you think they will compile on linux?
