Installing any PELC package fail

[masdeeper]

Hi,

I'm trying to install PELC package within the XAMPP shell with the command :

Code: Select all

pecl install package name

With all the packages I get the same error :

Code: Select all

WARNING: php_bin C:\xampp\php\php.exe appears to have a suffix \php.exe, but config variable php_suffix does not match
ERROR: The DSP pecl_http.dsp does not exist.

I need to install pecl_http.


Thanks

You DO know that this is a WINDOWS environment, right?

So there is no 'shell' as you would think of it in the *nix world. THUS shell commands don't work. (other than some that happen, by accident, to have the same name for the executable)

The Windows concept of a shell is the CMD command line interface, and all you can do there is manipulate things with Windows command line actions. In fact that is the way XAMPP works - everything is run through batch files that starts/stops processes/services. (ditto WAMP). All there is in the Windows world of executables is exe's (executables) and dll's (dynamic link libraries -- extensions for executables).

read this explanation about 'make/build' also:

Here's a good explanation of the realtionship between Windows and PHP extensions: (its even dead-on to your issue )

Good Luck

I succesfully installed PEAR extensions within the Xampp Windows shell.

So I'm not sure why PELC extensions don't compile.

Maybe we should do a bug report... ?

Instead, I strated coding with cURL


Thanks

One, err. Three more times -

THERE IS NO COMPILER FOR C BUILT INTO WINDOWS --
THERE IS NO COMPILER FOR C BUILT INTO WINDOWS --
THERE IS NO COMPILER FOR C BUILT INTO WINDOWS --

YOU have to install one and learn it...

Other than that, Good Luck with your projects

Try "pear config-set php_suffix .exe"
