Error when compiling PHP-CPP with Debian and MingW newest Version

[subabrain]

Hello,

i tried now several days to compile php-cpp in Debian with MingW (newest Version).
And there are Errors like:

...

/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/include/phpcpp/inivalue.h:17:21: error: variable ‘Php::PHPCPP_EXPORT Php::IniValue’ has initializer but incomplete type
class PHPCPP_EXPORT IniValue

...

And if i try to compile with g++ - it works..

Please help me!

Thanks!

git clone https://github.com/CopernicaMarketingSoftware/PHP-CPP.git

...
EDIT:

error: expected initializer before ‘__THROW’
extern void *alloca (size_t __size) __THROW;

....

Thanks Bruno - ill give a try :)

[subabrain]

ok .. but i dont understand whats this feature has to say:

This release is mainly a bugfix release

• Implemented a simple sapi_name() method which will return the current sapi.
  - On Windows with mingw EOF was not defined.
• Added access checks to Php::Value::contains.
  ...

i think its because of a compiler error ....

Hi Bruno,

EDIT:

you have to rename the "string.h" file in the "zend" phpcpp folder to f.e. "strings.h" - because if you dont do this there are some errors because conflicts of the system "string.h" file ...... and then rename this string.h to strings.h when needed :)

but i will try but not with fixed sourcecode - this would be too much - but i will upload the .sln File with the fiexed files here later:

1. make a new empty c++ project in visual studio (i took version 2022 community)

2. download the phpcpp sourcecode (i took the newest on github)

3. download the php sourcecode (i took php 7.4.0 from gihtub releases)

4. download the php binaries for windows (i took php 7.4.0 x86 non thread safe):

   https://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/archives/php-7.4.0-nts-Win32-vc15-x86.zip

5. put them extracted in a folder...

6. now choose your environment in visual studio to "Release" and "X86" (not tested with X64)

7. please add then all files from the "zend" directory of phpcpp as .cpp files to your project ..

8. now make the include paths in "properties" of the project to the following php paths in visual studio:
   ...
   php_source_path\php-src-php-7.4.0
   php_source_path\php-src-php-7.4.0\main
   php_source_path\php-src-php-7.4.0\Zend
   php_source_path\php-src-php-7.4.0\TSRM
   php_source_path\php-src-php-7.4.0\ext
   php_source_path\php-src-php-7.4.0\build\main
   php_source_path\php-src-php-7.4.0\build\Zend
   ...

9. And important - do the following with the preprocessor definitions:

   _WIN32
   _WINDOWS
   NDEBUG
   ZEND_DEBUG=0
   _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
   BUILDING_PHPCPP
   ZEND_WIN32_KEEP_INLINE
   PHP_WIN32
   ZEND_WIN32
   _USE_32BIT_TIME_T
   _MSC_VER=1933
   PHP_COMPILER_ID="VC15"

10. Now - set the Linker options to:

    php7.lib

11. then set the path of the Linker to:

    php_source_path\php-7.4.0-nts-Win32-vc15-x86\dev

    so the php7.lib located in the "dev" folder ...

12. now compile the project - BUT you have to choose the version of build to plattform Visual Studio 2017 (v141)

13. and choose the c++ compiler to "iso17"

so now if its compiled you can use it for developing extensions from php in windows :)

the sln project with all dependencies are comming later ;)

Hi,

EDIT:

NOTE:

You have to adjust the c++ files path ... or just add them by yourself :)

HAVE FUN!
