PHP Build System V5 Overview
|
|
|
|
- supports Makefile.ins during transition phase
|
|
- not-really-portable Makefile includes have been eliminated
|
|
- supports separate build directories without VPATH by using
|
|
explicit rules only
|
|
- does not waste disk-space/CPU-time for building temporary libraries
|
|
=> especially noticeable on slower systems
|
|
- slow recursive make replaced with one global Makefile
|
|
- eases integration of proper dependencies
|
|
- adds PHP_DEFINE(what[, value]) which creates a single include-file
|
|
per what. This will allow more fine-grained dependencies.
|
|
- abandoning the "one library per directory" concept
|
|
- improved integration of the CLI
|
|
- several new targets
|
|
build-modules: builds and copies dynamic modules into modules/
|
|
install-cli: installs the CLI only, so that the install-sapi
|
|
target does only what its name says
|
|
- finally abandoned automake (still requires aclocal at this time)
|
|
- changed some configure-time constructs to run at buildconf-time
|
|
- upgraded shtool to 1.5.4
|
|
- removed $(moduledir) (use EXTENSION_DIR)
|
|
|
|
The Reason For a New System
|
|
|
|
It became more and more apparent that there is a severe need
|
|
for addressing the portability concerns and improving the chance
|
|
that your build is correct (how often have you been told to
|
|
"make clean"? When this is done, you won't need to anymore).
|
|
|
|
|
|
If You Build PHP on a Unix System
|
|
|
|
|
|
You, as a user of PHP, will notice no changes. Of course, the build
|
|
system will be faster, look better and work smarter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If You Are Developing PHP
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extension developers:
|
|
|
|
Makefile.ins are abandoned. The files which are to be compiled
|
|
are specified in the config.m4 now using the following macro:
|
|
|
|
PHP_NEW_EXTENSION(foo, foo.c bar.c baz.cpp, $ext_shared)
|
|
|
|
E.g. this enables the extension foo which consists of three source-code
|
|
modules, two in C and one in C++. And, depending on the user's wishes,
|
|
the extension will even be built as a dynamic module.
|
|
|
|
The full syntax:
|
|
|
|
PHP_NEW_EXTENSION(extname, sources [, shared [,sapi_class[, extra-cflags]]])
|
|
|
|
Please have a look at acinclude.m4 for the gory details and meanings
|
|
of the other parameters.
|
|
|
|
And that's basically it for the extension side.
|
|
|
|
If you previously built sub-libraries for this module, add
|
|
the source-code files here as well. If you need to specify
|
|
separate include directories, do it this way:
|
|
|
|
PHP_NEW_EXTENSION(foo, foo.c mylib/bar.c mylib/gregor.c,,,-I@ext_srcdir@/lib)
|
|
|
|
E.g. this builds the three files which are located relative to the
|
|
extension source directory and compiles all three files with the
|
|
special include directive (@ext_srcdir@ is automatically replaced).
|
|
|
|
Now, you need to tell the build system that you want to build files
|
|
in a directory called $ext_builddir/lib:
|
|
|
|
PHP_ADD_BUILD_DIR($ext_builddir/lib)
|
|
|
|
Make sure to call this after PHP_NEW_EXTENSION, because $ext_builddir
|
|
is only set by the latter.
|
|
|
|
If you have a complex extension, you might to need add special
|
|
Make rules. You can do this by calling PHP_ADD_MAKEFILE_FRAGMENT
|
|
in your config.m4 after PHP_NEW_EXTENSION.
|
|
|
|
This will read a file in the source-dir of your extension called
|
|
Makefile.frag. In this file, $(builddir) and $(srcdir) will be
|
|
replaced by the values which are correct for your extension
|
|
and which are again determined by the PHP_NEW_EXTENSION macro.
|
|
|
|
Make sure to prefix *all* relative paths correctly with either
|
|
$(builddir) or $(srcdir). Because the build system does not
|
|
change the working directory anymore, we must use either
|
|
absolute paths or relative ones to the top build-directory.
|
|
Correct prefixing ensures that.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SAPI developers:
|
|
|
|
Instead of using PHP_SAPI=foo/PHP_BUILD_XYZ, you will need to type
|
|
|
|
PHP_SELECT_SAPI(name, type, sources.c)
|
|
|
|
I.e. specify the source-code files as above and also pass the
|
|
information regarding how PHP is supposed to be built (shared
|
|
module, program, etc).
|
|
|
|
For example for APXS:
|
|
|
|
PHP_SELECT_SAPI(apache, shared, sapi_apache.c mod_php5.c php_apache.c)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
General info
|
|
|
|
The foundation for the new system is the flexible handling of
|
|
sources and their contexts. With the help of macros you
|
|
can define special flags for each source-file, where it is
|
|
located, in which target context it can work, etc.
|
|
|
|
Have a look at the well documented macros
|
|
PHP_ADD_SOURCES(_X) in acinclude.m4.
