Hi there,
I've just discovered php-gtk :-) and would really like to use it as a
cross-platform tool to install an application (SGI,Linux & windows). The
application isn't too hard to install, but it needs to do things like
download from websites and post info to online forms etc. PHP looks ideal
:-)
The only fly in the ointment is that on Win32, it seems to expect the
various dll's in places I don't really want them to be (winnt/system32 etc.)
Assuming I were to recompile from source, could I change the dll path to be
".", and bundle all the libraries into the same directory as the php
executable ? I could then write a setup.bat "application" that did './php
install.php' and Bob's your auntie's live-in lover.
Assuming the recompile is a good way to do this, what's the standard
environment people use ? VC++, mingw32 ? The win32-gtk port seems to prefer
mingw32, and I've found an already-compiled linux-hosted cross compiler at
libsdl.org so it would just be a matter of plugging bits together to get a
decent compilation environment, if that is acceptable to php-gtk
Alternatively, is there anywhere I can get an already-set-up php-gtk
development environment. My experience compiling php suggests there will be
several libraries involved if I have to recompile from source <grin> It
would be nice to find if someone has already got such an environment :-) Yes
I'm lazy <grin>
Thanks in advance for any help,
ATB,
Simon
