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

[Jan Hartmann]

I compiled with:

  -DPHP_INCLUDE_DIR=$INSTALLBIN/include/php \
  -DPHP_EXTENSION_DIR=$INSTALLBIN/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20220829

and got lots of error messages about missing .h files (php.h, zend.h 
etc). I bulk copied them all to the directory in the build tree where 
the errors came from, and got a complete build, including 
"php_mapscriptng.so"

So CMAKE is still missing the php include directories. What is de 
correct DEFINE for that?

After I copied php_mapscriptng.so to the correct location and filling in 
php.ini, I got a warning when starting PHP :

Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_mapscriptng.so' (tried: 
/virdir/installbin/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20220829/php_mapscriptng.so 
(libgeos.so.3.12.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory)

But  it *is* in that location. Any idea?
