PHP-GTK on OS X

After much grief and aggravation, I finally got PHP-GTK to work on OS X! Thanks to the PHP-GTK mailing list for information that led me to solving this problem. Also thanks to the person that compiled the phpgtk.so binary so I didn\'t have to.

1. Compile a fresh version of PHP 

php-<ver>$ ./configure --bindir=/usr/local/bin
...
php-<ver>$ make
...
php-<ver>$ sudo make install

2. Download the PHP-GTK extensions from this location (10.2.x (Jaguar) files work fine in 10.3.x (Panther)) & copy them to the extensions directory of PHP 

~$ sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/php/extensions
~$ sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/php/no-debug-non-zts-20020429
~$ sudo cp /path/to/ext_download/*.so /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/

3. Install additional packages required using Fink

  • dlcompat-shlibs
  • imlib & imlib-shlibs
  • libxml & libxml-shlibs
  • libxml2 & libxml2-shlibs
  • gtk+, gtk+-data, gtk+-shlibs
  • gtk+2, gtk+2-data, gtk+2-shlibs
  • libglade & libglade-shlibs
  • libglade2 & libglade2-shlibs

4. Force OS X to use the newly compiled PHP by \"faking it\": 

~$ sudo mv /usr/bin/php /usr/bin/php_old
~$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/php /usr/bin/php

5. Run all your PHP-GTK apps through the OS X X11 desktop.
