AFAIK, it correctly builds with PHP 5.4. I've built php-gtk against PHP 5.4.5
a few months ago on windows (https://github.com/gfaieta/phpgtk-build). I
suspect linux build should be more straightforward; maybe you should try the
latest sources.

SVN was abandoned in favor of git: see https://github.com/php/php-gtk-src and
https://github.com/auroraeosrose/php-gtk-src

php-gtk is not abandoned; IMHO it only needs more visibility (and more
contributors). I currently maintain 3 php-gtk applications on Windows and the
customer is planning 2 more.
Hope this helps.
