Compile and install php libevent extension library on linux

Linux compiles and installs the php libevent extension method. Implementing high-performance network services in php programming requires the support of the libevent extension library. This article installs the libevent extension library by compiling source code.

To write high-performance network services in PHP, you need to install the libevent extension.

1. Download libevent extension: http://pecl.php.net/package/libevent

2. After decompression, start compiling

$ cd libevent-version $ /usr/local/php/bin/phpize $ ./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/php/bin/php-config

An error is reported, and the error shows that the re2c version is too low. re2c, PHP's lexical parser, official website: http://re2c.org/, download the latest version, and the compilation is completed. Continue to compile the PHP extension just now, and still get an error error: Cannot find libevent headers

Until now, the directory of libevent must not have been found. Check locally whether libevent is installed, Finally found the libevent-2.0.12-stable directory in a directory. 3. If it is not installed, you need to install libevent first.

wget http://cloud.github.com/downloads/libevent/libevent/libevent-2.0.20-stable.tar.gz tar zxvf libevent-2.0.20-stable.tar.gz cd libevent-2.0.20-stable/ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/libevent-2.0.20-stable/ make make install cd ../

4. Continue to compile extensions

$ cd libevent-0.0.5 $ /usr/local/php/bin/phpize $ ./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/php/bin/php-config --with-libevent=/usr/local/libevent-2.0.20-stable $ make && make install

This time the compilation passed.
