Compiling stuff from source is one of the fun things that you get to do on linux. As with most things it takes a while to aquire the taste though. The best place to start usually is the README and INSTALL scripts that you tend to find with almost everything distributed as source. You will also find ./configure --help to be quite usefull. Before you compile PHP you might want to try your hand and apache, which is a lot easier to compile and which you need anyway (unless you plan to run comand line only)
have fun.

Hi,
I am a beginner to building PHP source code for Linux / Unix. I am looking for a document that takes me through a step-by-step guidelines of doing this. Can someone point to a link for this?
Thanks, Ananth.
