PECL SVN Extension Setup Help

Hello,

I tried installing the pecl svn extension but I get an error.

This is the command I ran along with all the output:

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------

> pecl install svn-beta
downloading svn-0.3.tgz ...
Starting to download svn-0.3.tgz (20,274 bytes)
....... done: 20,274 bytes
4 source files, building
ERROR: The DSP svn.dsp does not exist

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------

I am using php 5.2.5 on windows xp. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

- Jake

You should grab the pre-complied extension from
http://pecl4win.php.net/list.php instead. Use pecl install tried to
compile it locally, which you aren't set up for.

Hmmm - that's not the way to install pecl extensions on windows.

First of all you need to install subversion - since the svn php
extension is a wrapper.

Second you need to get a svn extension binary - php_svn.dll

Are you using the thread safe or non-thread safe version of php?
Grab the appropriate pecl pack from http://php.net/downloads and this
item should be inside. Place php_svn.dll in your php extensions directory.

Finally you need to edit your php.ini, adding the line
extension=php_svn.dll where your other extensions are enabled. Then
restart your server.

Re: PECL SVN Extension Setup Help

Oh wow I didn't know there were pre-compiled extensions already for
windows. One problem though is the latest version they have the
extensions compiled for is PHP 5.2.1 and I am running PHP 5.2.5 here
and PHP 5.3.0 at home. If I use an extension compiled for PHP 5.2.1 on
either of those versions that I am using couldn't that produce some
unexpected results? What do you advise I should do?

Thanks,

Re: Re: PECL SVN Extension Setup Help

Elizabeth,

Thanks for your detailed setup instructions. I have a few questions. I
am running the PHP 5.2.5 here for Apache 2, I got this all setup by
just downloading the latest wamp package from
http://www.wampserver.com so how do I figure out if I'm running a
threaded or non-threaded version of PHP?

Also, you said the svn extension is just a wrapper. Does that mean its
just calling svn commands on my computer and not really using SVN code
to communicate with the SVN servers?

Thanks,
- Jake

No - by a wrapper it means it's talking in C to the svn client libs. If
you're using apache2 then you have the thread safe or normal php
compile. I really would suggest you use the official PHP installer and
apache installer instead of wamp, which we don't really provide support
for - the php installer allows you to choose the extensions you want to
use... if you have additional trouble please contact wamp.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

Re: Re: PECL SVN Extension Setup Help

I tried using the normal php installer as my initial attempt but
apache wouldn't start with php so I just got something that is just
prepackaged. I don't think there is much of a difference between their
php and the php on the website besides it just works out of the box
with apache.

Thanks for you help.
