1st try:
I’m building a project timer app in PHP with the php_gtk.so module. But I can’t compile it for my Mac… I have it running on my linux based machine, but not on my mac yet… I’ve found these pre-compiled libs, but it still doesn’t work…

I’m now checking the Fink stuff… I think I miss some GTK lib…

2nd try:
Found the gtk lib, but still no luck… If someone has an idea, please post!. I always get this error when I fire up a php-gtk script:

3th try “EUREKA! It works!”:

I have it working! This is what I did… I’ve downloaded the latest source from php.net. Unpaked it and compiled it with this configuration:

./configure 
--prefix=/usr 
--mandir=/usr/share/man 
--infodir=/usr/share/info 
--with-apxs2 
--with-ldap=/usr 
--with-kerberos=/usr 
--enable-cli 
--with-zlib-dir=/usr 
--enable-trans-sid 
--with-xml 
--enable-exif 
--enable-ftp 
--enable-mbstring 
--enable-mbregex 
--enable-dbx 
--enable-sockets 
--with-iodbc=/usr 
--with-curl=/usr 
--with-config-file-path=/etc 
--sysconfdir=/private/etc

Do a make and make install command to update the existing php binary.

Now download the latest php-gtk source and compile it.

./buildconf
./configure
make
make install

Now you should have this file: /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/php_gtk

rename the php_gtk to php_gtk.so

mv /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/php_gtk /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/php_gtk.so

Make sure that the file is executable;

chmod +x /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/php_gtk.so

Okay now your done… Don’t edit the php.ini to use the php_gtk.so at startup, or else you can’t use php in your Apache webserver! Use the php_gtk.so with this line in your source: dl(’php_gtk.so’);

To get it to work,

start up X11 (This is very important! php-gtk needs X11 or Xdarwin to run or else you get this error:

Fatal error: php-gtk: Could not open display in php-gtk-1.0.1/test/hello.php on line 4)

Xdarwin comes with Fink, a package management system for MacOS X based on the Debian apt tools.

Start your file in the terminal of X11 or Xdarwin and open a bottle of beer!
