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

[Jan Hartmann]

Hi Jeff, I appreciate your advice, but I solved the problem with a hack, 
and to be honest, CMAKE error handling is above me. I am still from the 
./configure generation :-)

I added these two lines to MapServer's CMAKE call:

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

I also had to add these lines to GEOS's CMAKE, after 
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$INSTALLBIN  -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$INSTALLBIN \

-DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=$INSTALLBIN/lib \
-DINCLUDE_DIRECTORIES=$INSTALLBIN/include \

I guess CMAKE does not propagate its dependencies very well from the 
general INSTALL_PREFIX.

But this still didn't work. The php includes in other subdirectories 
than main weren't found. Those subdirectories should have been added to 
the include path, but weren't. So I copied the complete php include 
directory to /usr/include (O horror! :-)) .

Of course a Docker installation would be easier, as you can install 
everything in standard locations. But I want to have a real dedicated 
server with just the software I need and nothing more. I have worked for 
a long time with the UbuntuGIS packages, but they are not supported very 
well.

Thanks for your advice!

Jan

Hi Jan,

I understand that you won't listen to my advice here, no problem at all. 
  But I won't repeat myself here 🙂

Enjoy your afternoon,
