Install Apache2, PHP and MySQL on OS X (10.3)

You will find here some notes and tips to compile PHP5 on OS X. Credits go to chregu at biflux.ch who helped me out especially with the PHP5 configure setting. -- UrsGehrig


Binaries and Libraries:
sudo apt-get install libjpeg libpng libxml2 mysql


wget ftp://ftp.apache.de/mirrors/dev.apache.org/dist/httpd/httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz
Apache2 configure:
./configure \
--enable-module=so \
--enable-module=rewrite \
--enable-dav \
--enable-dav-fs


wget http://ch.php.net/get/php-5.0.0b4.tar.gz/from/this/mirror
PHP5 configure:
./configure \
--disable-cgi \
--disable-pdo \
--prefix=/usr/local/php5 \
--with-zlib \
--with-iconv=/sw/ \
--without-bundle-libxml \
--with-dom=/sw/ \
--with-libxml-dir=/sw/ \
--with-xsl=/sw/ \
--disable-pear \
--with-gd \
--with-freetype-dir=/sw/lib/freetype2/ \
--with-jpeg-dir=/sw/ \
--with-png-dir=/sw/ \
--enable-sockets \
--enable-pcntl \
--enable-shmop \
--enable-sysvshm \
--enable-sysvsem \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/ \
--enable-debug \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

If the above configure does not work because some libraries are missing, then apply something like the following:
rm ./config.cache before you apply another ./configure

Comments:

  • Acutally Freetype support using --with-freetype-dir=/sw/ did not work, even though all libraries were there. -- UrsGehrig
  • Found the solution for the freetype2 problem in http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/user/view/cs_msg/31315; just specify --with-freetype-dir=/sw/lib/freetype2/ for a fink installation or with Apple's X11 --with-freetype-dir=/usr/X11R6 -- UrsGehrig
