[mapserver-users] finding php_mapserver.so

Thu May 1 14:59:47 EDT 2008

Tim:
	I believe that the problem is that you specified a trailing /
character in your name. Try using --with-php=/usr/include/php , I see
that the output from your configure has double / characters and that is
probably why you are not getting it to build the mapscript module.

Here are the messages that I got when I did the configure with the
option shown above:

checking for location of config.h or php_config.h...
/usr/include/php/main/php_config.h
checking whether we have PHP3 or PHP4... -DPHP4
checking whether we should use PHP's regex... yes
        found regex_extra.h - building PHP MapScript with PHP's bundled
regex
        PHP/MapScript module configured

And the php_mapscript.so file was built in the mapscript/php3 directory.

I did specify the --with-php=DIR as --with-php=/usr/include/php/

Here's the output of the configure script for the PHP/Mapscript:

configure: checking for PHP/MapScript module options...
checking for g++ -shared ... yes
checking for location of config.h or php_config.h... 
/usr/include/php//main/php_config.h

    found regex_extra.h - building PHP MapScript with PHP's bundled
regex
    PHP/MapScript module configured.
checking if --enable-runpath requested... no checking if
--with-java-include-os-name specified... no, autodetected linux

MapServer is now configured for
