Installing PHP\/Ming on Debian GNU\/Linux<\/h2>\n
\nOkay, I’ll use $MINGINST<\/var> to state Ming
\ninstallation directory. For example, in my computer, the
\ninstallation directory is \/usr\/apps\/src\/ming-0.1.1<\/var>.
\nSo, if I say $MINGINST\/php_ext<\/var>, it means
\n\/usr\/apps\/src\/ming-0.1.1\/php_ext<\/var>.<\/div>\n
\nMy initial (intuitive, again) step was trying to recompile
\nthe source code to get the shared object. The README<\/var>
\nstated that the first thing to do was simply typing make
\nstatic<\/code>. This produced $MINGINST\/libming.a<\/var> and
\nsome object files under $MINGINST\/src<\/var>. Next, still
\nfollowing the README<\/var>, I changed directory to
\n$MINGINST\/php_ext<\/var> and typed make<\/code>.
\nWhew… lots of errors. I read the error messages and they were
\nabout header files being not found. Maybe you think that it
\nshouldn’t be a problem if we have apt-got (err… perfect form
\nof apt-get…) install php4-dev<\/var> (for your
\ninformation, I’m using the stable version). The fact is: it is,
\nand it is because of the Debian directory layout that
\n“confuses” php-config --includes<\/code> being used inside
\nMakefile<\/var>. The same thing also applies for
\nphp-config --extension-dir<\/code>.<\/div>\n
\n

With such a condition, in such a “quick and dirty” way, I
\nmodified Makefile<\/var> so it became like this:
\n(includes wrapped for formatting for this example)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n\n\nprefix=`php-config --prefix`\n\nincludes=-I \/usr\/include\/php4\/main -I \/usr\/include\/php4\/Zend \n-I \/usr\/include\/php4\/ext\/standard -I \/usr\/include\/php4 \n-I \/usr\/include\/php4\/TSRM\nextension=\/usr\/lib\/php4\/apache\n\nDEFINES = -DHAVE_MING -DCOMPILE_DL_MING -DZEND_NEW_ERROR_HANDLING\n\nCFILES = ming.c\n\nphp_ming.so: ming.o\n\t${CC} -shared -fpic ming.o ..\/libming.a -o php_ming.so -lm\n\nming.o: ${CFILES}\n\t${CC} ${DEFINES} -c ming.c -I. -I.. ${includes} \n\nclean:\n\trm -f php_ming.so\n\ninstall:\n\tcp php_ming.so ${extension} \n\techo \"Don't forget to add 'extension=php_ming.so' to php.ini!\"\n\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
\nPlease notice the changes: two additional variables
\n(includes<\/var> and extension<\/var>) and a few
\nchanges in the targets ming.o<\/var> and
\ninstall<\/var>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
