Symphony.

I hope you don’t mind, but I thought I would record my findings when compiling a xAMP server from source.

The documentation assumes a fairly standard installation as found on a cpanel, but if you’re building a server from scratch, there are a few basic libraries to include.

Today I compiled PHP5 from ports and found that I needed the following (FreeBSD flavor):

php5-zlib php5-sessions php5-xsl php5-xml php5-json php5-dom php5-simplexml php5-mysql

The two that really threw me were the php5-sessions and php5-simplexml. Took a bit of work to trace these down.

I hope this helps someone… Bill

If you are planning on using JIT, you will also need the GD library.

Edit: which is called php_gd2 on my install.

Oh, excellent, thanks for that creativedutchmen!

You can add php5-ctype to the requirements.
