Installing web9p

Step 1 I had to install mercurial, easy with my new Debian install,

I even have a little HP PIII 664.561 Mhz processor as a 32bit test area, nice and quiet compared to the Dual Opteron next to it!

#apt-get install mercurial

; hg clone http://code.kix.in/hg/web9

ack, no idea how to compile a PHP5 module

try this http://uk2.php.net/manual/kr/zend.creating.php

maht@rod:~/web9/php9p$ cc -fpic -DCOMPILE_DL=1 -I/usr/local/include -I. -I.. -I../Zend -c -o ixp ixp.c
In file included from ixp.c:28:
php_ixp.h:35:17: error: php.h: No such file or directory
maht@rod:~/web9/php9p$ locate php.h
maht@rod:~/web9/php9p$

ok so now I need php source code

; cd /usr/local/lib
; apt-get source php5
; rm php5_*
; cd php5-5.2.0
; ./configure
lex: command not found
# apt-get install lex
E: Couldn't find package lex

great, I need to find a compatible lex
This gives me the chance to show off my Firefox bookmark for searching Debian packages.

I have a bookmark with this Location (with open in sidebar ticked)
javascript: deb_srch = prompt('Debian package search'); if(deb_srch !='') window.location='http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?exact=0&searchon=names&suite=all&case=insensitive&section=all&keywords=' + escape(deb_srch) + '&arch=any';

which I though was a useful thing to know when I found out

Oh yeah, flex, that's the one
# apt-get install flex

back to the php5
configure: error: xml2-config not found. Please check your libxml2 installation.
this was only ever fun when you didn't know what the words meant

# apt-get install libxml2
libxml2 is already the newest version.

the excitement is building, I'll surrender and read the docs

nope, nothing useful there

; ./configure --disable-all
configure: error: xml2-config not found. Please check your libxml2 installation.

great disable all doesn't do that

I ended up with :

; ./configure --disable-all --disable-libxml --disable-dom --disable-simplexml --disable-xml --disable-xmlreader --disable-xmlwriter --disable-pear --enable-fastcgi --enable-discard-path --enable-force-redirect '--with-config-file-path=/etc/php5'

; time make
Build complete.
real 9m10.632s

#make install
ixp nowhere to be seen, this isn't working out

Anant showed up and helped me out
; cd $home/web9/php9p
; phpize
