Extension binaries for windows

[Ambrish Bhargava]

Hi All,

I am a developer of IBM_DB2, PDO_IBM and PDO_INFORMIX PHP extensions.

Its been a long time that pecl4win site is down. Is there any alternate channel from where users can download binaries for Windows for latest release?

Regards,
Ambrish Bhargava

[Pierre Joye]

hi,

What is required to build these extensions on windows?

Do the DB2/IFX/other SDK support VC6 and VC9? x86 or x64?


Cheers,

Hello Pierre,

You are not entirely answering the question. I have too been waiting a
long time for a pecl4win replacement. Do we have an estimate on how
much time before we can see the light again?

If not, why not bring the "olde pecl4win" back?

Regards,
Olivier

Because we can't touch the "old" pecl4win box - kind of a problem to
"bring it back" if you can't get to it.

Thanks,

Do you have more free time now?

The idea itself of pecl4win can't work again and won't work again
(using random cvs snapshots with random versions of libraries).

the fact that the box is not reachable is really not the issue. We
have plenty of boxes to host it and we already have a new one for this
task.

Even if I did, I have no interest in Windows, and no clue on how it
works. The reason I'm personally complaining is because I receive
emails from people asking "where can I get that xyz PECL extension for
Windows", and I have no idea what to answer apart from: "The new build
system should be there soon".

The soon part has been 6 months. If no one is going to work on this,
we might as well say we do not support Windows because no one wants to
support it on the PECL community side.

Well at least it did work for exts such as APC. And Steph did some
work so CVS snaps are identified anyway. I don't care if it's a snap
build and/or PECL depending on external libs don't work. Most people
are using Windows build only to do development anyway. Thus, they just
care to have a "semi-working" ext, even if it's a dev snapshot.

Olivier

I am not aware of what all the issues are with random cvs snapshots with random versions of binaries, all i can say is that it worked well for all windows users of ibm_db2, pdo_ibm and pdo_informix (i.e. they never complained about anything)

We havent tried VC6 since that is not supported for long time. VC9 (2008) we havent used. We have used VC2003 and VC2005, x86 and x64.
It need 5 header files and 1 lib file.

Can you let us know how we can move forward.

Where can I get them? Or are they part of the Windows platform SDK?

You can grab them from here.

32Bit
------
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/db2/fixes2/english-us/db2_v95/clidriver/fp3b/v9.5fp3b_nt32_odbc_cli.zip

64 bit
------
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/ps/products/db2/fixes2/english-us/db2_v95/clidriver/fp3b/v9.5fp3b_ntx64_odbc_cli.zip

Following are the compilation flags:
--with-ibm_db2=<PATH TO FOLDER WHERE ABOVE ZIP HAS BEEN EXTRACTED>
--with-pdo-ibm=<PATH TO FOLDER WHERE ABOVE ZIP HAS BEEN EXTRACTED>

[Pierre Joye]

Are they CRT agnostic? We have to use VC6 for php 5.2. PHP 5.3
binaries are built using VC9 and VC6 (standard apache still uses VC6),
see http://windows.php.net.

They are.

[Mario Briggs]

Pierre,

At the risk of sounding pushy!!! is this going to be built and available on windows.php.net. Is there an ETA. I understand it is fully voluntary from your side. Is there a way we can help/pitch in

Mario

[Pierre Joye]

hi,

no, not on windows.php.net but on pecl.php.net, based on releases.

In the meantime I will provide binaries for 5.2 and 5.3 (if it works with 5.3).

Cheers,

Cool and thanks. On the package specific page on pecl site ?

Greetings all,

All references to pecl4win and related DLLs will be removed from the  
PHP documentation this upcoming Friday. This essentially only refers  
to the installation section of each documented PECL extension. No  
alternatives will be documented, because we have no official  
alternatives.

Also, the following document will be adjusted to say something about  
this although I'm not yet sure what. Something like "Compile it  
yourself" although in a wordier fashion. Maybe this will inspire  
people to work on it.

   http://php.net/install.pecl

Each PECL extension already refers to this document.

Regards,
Philip

Hi Pierre,

I want to get the ibm_db2 and pdo_ibm binaries available with the php
installable for windows (as it used to be earlier). Willing to commit time
and resources for this. Can you let me know know to proceed.

thanks
Mario

hi,

There is a dedicated list for windows development if you like to,
internals-win@...

About your questions, see:

- http://www.slideshare.net/pierrej/php-on-windows-internals
- http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild

That won't work for PHP 5.2. Additionally you need VC6 (enterprise for
non slow binary) for php 5.2. However once you get it for VC9 I can do
the VC6 ones on our snaps if you don't a vc6 at hand.

Cheers,
