[PHP-DEV] Building PHP extensions
Please pardon the intrusion, if this is too far off-topic for the list I apologize now and welcome pointers to documentation, links, etc.. My build environment is: Windows 2000 Professional, MSVC++ 6.0 SP5. I have been reading at www.php.net in the manual on how to build extensions to PHP. I have the source code to both 4.0.6 and 4.1.0. The documentation clearly dictates the structure and procedures that need to be followed to create an extension. However, the documentation clearly has *nix slant. As a reference, I am attempting to build the example extension defined in listing 9.3 at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/zend.creating.php Using the 4.0.6 source tree I get preprocessor errors for undefined symbols (STANDARD_MODULE_HEADERS is one). When trying to build under the 4.1.0 tree these errors go away, but I get linker errors because of missing libs. Yes, I have all the neccessary include and lib directories set. I have checked both trees and the libs in question do not exist. I am attempting to build the extension in a directory created under the ./ext directory in both trees with a project workspace modelled after those in other directories off that part of the tree. Anyone care to punt me in the right direction? -- Craig Morrison MTS Professional @ http://www.mtsprofessional.com/ A Win32 Email server that works for _you_. -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

First, the documentation doesn't cover the latest changes. Read the source, luke.

You need some zend api dependend #ifdef's to make the module header work under both API's: #if ZEND_MODULE_API_NO = 20010901 STANDARD_MODULE_HEADER, #endif and #if ZEND_MODULE_API_NO = 20010901 NO_VERSION, #endif [...] have all the neccessary include and lib directories set. I have checked both trees and the libs in question do not exist. The exact error (what lib is missing? whats your config.m4 and Makefile.in is looking like? Have you checked against other extensions how they do it? Have you used ./ext_skel? etc...) would help. - Markus -- Please always Cc to me when replying to me on the lists. -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The exact error (what lib is missing? whats your config.m4 and Makefile.in is looking like? Have you checked against other extensions how they do it? Have you used ./ext_skel? etc...) would help. Please remember this is being built under Win32 with MSVC++ 6.0. ext_skel is a shell script which I can not run here. Configuration: wini - Win32 Debug_TS Linking... LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file php4ts-debug.lib Error executing link.exe. php_wini.dll - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) I am assuming this is because that library hasn't been built by me from the PHP sources, correct? When I try to build the sources from the Win32\php4.dsw I get a very long message about bcmath\libbcmath\output.c and main\output.c producing an object file in the same output directory and the project refuses to build. -- Craig Morrison MTS Professional @ http://www.mtsprofessional.com/ A Win32 Email server that works for _you_. -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Use php4ts.dsw At the risk of asking too much.. I get more errors than you can shake a stick at when trying to build with this project also. Is there a definitive list somewhere of exactly what is needed (tools, headers, etc) to build PHP under Win32 using MSVC 6.0? -- Craig Morrison MTS Professional @ http://www.mtsprofessional.com/ A Win32 Email server that works for _you_. -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You need a support zip called win32build.zip mentioned somewhere in the FAQ where to download and adjust the MSVC pathes appropriate. After that, it compiles out of the box (with just a few warnings, ignore them). -- Please always Cc to me when replying to me on the lists. -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I had read that part of the documentation before but it completely slipped my mind to look back at it. I was looking for the information in the wrong place. All is well in PHP build-land here. Now I'm off to work on that extension.
