[MapServer-users] Compiling mapserver with php in user directory

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Jan,

Unfortunately I have much experience tracking down CMake errors now, ha.

Instead of the error log, scroll up and read the output from your cmake 
command (as it does its checks and looks for libraries), I find 
examining that output is crucial (and I personally find the actual 
generated log file is filled of fake/"red-herrings").  Focus instead on 
going line-by-line through that cmake output, as it makes its way down 
to the final "configuring incomplete" message.  (for packaging, this is 
what I do, line-by-line)

For example, if you are trying to enable the GEOS library, I would go 
line-by-line of the output and find where it was looking for GEOS 
initially, and read the messages in that section, to confirm that there 
are no issues when enabling GEOS.  This is crucial.

It takes much time to do this for each library.

In my case, for PHPNG support, my CMake command includes: 
"-DWITH_PHPNG=1 -DPHP_EXTENSION_DIR=/usr/lib/php/20220829"

In your case I am not sure, but, I would start by examining line-by-line 
the CMake output before the words "Configuring incomplete" (and totally 
ignoring the generated 'output' file).

Maybe you can find the PHPNG section in your cmake command output, and 
paste that here for the community to review.

PHP has also been compiled into that directory, but I don't get MapServer to use it. It compiles against the system-php, but that is another version than the compiled one. I call CMAKE with the following options:
