Saxon » SaxonC

I've been trying to build Saxon-EE/C 1.2.1 as an extension for PHP 5.6.38 in a 64-bit version of Puppy Linux.

I think it probably almost worked, but there were some errors with the "make" command (which didn't finish compiling) and the "configure" command (which seemed to run successfully despite the errors).

Those errors are shown below, and also in the attached file "EEC-1.2.1-build-transcript.txt".

I also tried building Saxon HE/C 1.2.1 mostly the same way (except a different installation path and SAXONC_HOME path), and had similar errors. (Included in the attached file "HEC-1.2.1-build-transcript.txt".)

I'm very unfamiliar with C and C++, so, despite trying, I was unable to fix the problems myself.

Happily, I already have Saxon-EE 10.6 for Java working fine on this computer, and I love it!

So, I'm not in any rush here - I could probably get by with that alone if I had to. But I have a lot of legacy PHP 5 software I'm stuck with for now, so it would be nice (though not urgent or essential) for me to be able to use Saxon EE/C 1.2.1 as a PHP 5 extension.

Thanks for any help!

• I unzipped "libsaxon-EEC-setup64-v1.2.1.zip" into this folder:

/root/apbin/APSK-GLMP-GTK/Saxon-C/v1.2.1-EEC

• Then, I went there and ran this:

./libsaxon-EEC-setup64-v1.2.1

• I installed it with the default destination path it gave me:

/root/apbin/APSK-GLMP-GTK/Saxon-C/v1.2.1-EEC/Saxonica/SaxonEEC1.2.1

I attached the install.log file as "EEC-1.2.1-install.log", in case it might help.

• Then I set the environment variable SAXONC_HOME by adding this line to the file "/etc/profile.log":

export SAXONC_HOME="/root/apbin/APSK-GLMP-GTK/Saxon-C/v1.2.1-EEC/Saxonica/SaxonEEC1.2.1"

• I avoided putting any symlinks in /usr/lib, following the advice of this manual page: https://www.saxonica.com/saxon-c/documentation/index.html#!starting/installing/installingLinux

Quote:

The use of symbolic links to specify where the Saxon/C library is installed is no longer recommended. It is better to set the SAXONC_HOME environment variable directly.

• I removed the old symlinks I had to Saxon-HE/C 1.0.2's "rt" folder and "libsaxonhec.so".

• In the "Saxon.C.API" folder, I overwrote "config.m4" with "PHP5-Build/config.m4".

• I ran this:

phpize

Which produced this successful-looking output:

bash-4.1# phpize

PHP Api Version:         20131106
Zend Module Api No:      20131226

• Then I ran:

./configure --enable-saxon --prefix "/root/apbin/APSK-GLMP-GTK/Saxon-C/v1.2.1-EEC/Saxonica/SaxonEEC1.2.1"

Which seemed to run successfully despite a few errors:

• I edited "Makefile" since I keep Java in an unconventional location. (And also because this step was needed years ago when I successfully built HE/C 1.02 and HE/C 1.10 on this same computer.)

I changed line 31, which said:

CPPFLAGS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H

...to this:

CPPFLAGS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/root/apbin/Java/v8u51/include/ -I/root/apbin/Java/v8u51/include/linux/ -I/root/apbin/APSK-GLMP-GTK/Saxon-C/v1.2.1-EEC/Saxonica/SaxonEEC1.2.1

• Lastly, I ran:

make

Which had the below errors:
