[mapserver-dev] PHP-Mapscript via SWIG

[Alexander Gabriel]

Hi together,

i prepared my patches to be merged into master branch: https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/pull/5675

There are a few issues in the moment which prevent testing my patches with AppVeyor (https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/18421) and building it Thread-Safe on Windows (https://github.com/swig/swig/commit/224bb9e0232a219b7cefd23472b592b39e277f46) so only users that use current development state of SWIG and current development state of CMake will be able to compile this on Windows for Thread-Safe PHP (CMakeLists.txt checks for correct versions).

Because i think, there are more people waiting for PHP/Mapscript on Linux than on Windows, it would be good to merge this, don't advertise Mapscript for Windows as supported, wait until SWIG 4.0 and CMake 3.13 get released and then look for supporting Windows again.

I'm interessted in feedback. If you have any suggestions, ideas or any other feedback, please let me know. Seth (@geographika) offered to merge in a few days if there are no suggested changes.

Thank you.


Kind regards,
Alex

Betreff: [mapserver-dev] 7.2 release... and a question...

While PHP support for 7.2 was omitted  because of confusion on RFC status, I've been watching Alexander (@AlexanderGabriel) has been working hard the last 10 days to resurrect the SWIG/PHP work. See ticket https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/5252 and the pull request https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/pull/5623.

Given the SWIG/PHP support is brand new and wouldn't have any backwards compatibility issues. So, do we include it and have one more beta?
