How to compile php-gtk for Slackware 9.1 resolved

Below is a message I left on the WIKI. But since the List archives are searchable, I thought I post here too. The message was both an attempt to answer the question of how to install php-gtk on Slackware 9.1 and a learning exercise for me. I would appreciate it if any one had anything to add or corrections to make that they do so. Additionally, I would be happy to provide a Slackware 9.1 binary package to anyone that wants to host a download for it. Now that I know how to get it working, I can start to compile in some of the options and such. (GtkHTML, Scintilla for example) Further, when PHP-GTK 2 is released, I would be happy to try to create a Slackware package for that to. Or at the very least, provide detailed compile instructions. Ron_W Question: How do you install php-gtk 1.0 on a Slackware 9.1 box? Answer: This is how I got it to work. Might not be the best way, but now I have a binary package. :=) First I downloaded and installed the following tools: libtool 1.4.2 automake 1.4 autoconf 2.13 You may need to log off and then log back on at this point. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$ This is important $$$ $$$ $$$ Slackware doesn't compile php in such a way that you can $$$ $$$ compile php-gtk. The following step can't be ignored. $$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Next I downloaded the source code for php. I used php-4.3.5RC3.tar.gz. So far, I've had no problems. This is how I installed php. tar -xzvf php-4.3.5RC3.tar.gz cd php-4.3.5RC3 ./configure --disable-cgi make su make install You may need to log off and then log back on at this point. Next I untared the php-gtk-1.0.0.tar.gz file and began the install process. tar -xzvf php-gtk-1.0.0.tar.gz cd php-gtk-1.0.0 ./buildconf ./configure At this point I got an error syntax error near unexpected token `PHP_GTK_ARG_ENABLE(debug,' blah blah blah.... The error told me what line the offending code was on so I commented out that line of code and the one right after it. (1392 and 1393 I think but I can't be sure.) Next I typed the following command... phpize What it does, I don't know. I read it some where in the mailing list or something. Then I tried ./configure and make again. This time I did it using a configure argument like this.. ./configure --disable-libglade make I have chkinstall installed on my Slackware box so that's what I did instead of running make install. This created and installed a Slackware package for me. Finally I e-mailed this package home so that I could test the package on another Slackware 9.1 box. It installed (without all of the above bs) with only one minor, easy to fix, glitch. The php_gtk.so didn't get installed to the same place as the machine at work. This is probably because of the recompile of php. In any case the following command fixed the problem for me. cp /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/php_gtk.so /usr/lib/php/extensions/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
