Compilation

This page explains how to manually compile the extension. Most users don't need to follow this procedure and should use the simple qdb\Installation() instructions.

Manual compilation from source on Linux

Assumptions:

1. php5, php5-dev, git, gcc and libpcre3-dev are installed
2. qdb-capi is installed in /usr/include and /usr/lib

This has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, please adapt to your configuration.

Instructions:

git clone https://github.com/bureau14/qdb-api-php.git
cd qdb-api-php
phpize
./configure --with-quasardb
make
sudo make install

Alternative:

If you don't want to install qdb_capi in /usr/include and /usr/lib, you can specify the path like this:

./configure --with-quasardb=/path/to/qdb_api

However, this will stop working if you change the location of qdb_capi and you'll need to do the compilation again. That is why the global installation in /usr/include and /usr/lib is recommended.

Manual compilation from source on Windows

Assumptions:

1. Visual Studio is installed
2. PHP source code is decompressed in C:\php-src\
3. qdb-capi is installed in C:\qdb-capi
4. qdb-php-api.tar.gz has been decompressed in C:\php-src\ext\qdb

Please adapt to your configuration.

Instructions:

Open a Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt (either x86 or x86) and type:

cd /d C:\php-src\
buildconf
configure --with-quasardb=C:\qdb-capi
nmake
nmake install

You may want to customize configure's flags, for instance --enable-zts or --disable-zts to control thread-safety.

Also if qdb_api.dll is not available on the PATH, you'll need to copy it to C:\php\.
