[Kokotoss]

I want to add an extension to PHP module. Usualy its enough to copy and execute those commands
. / configure
make

however i have no compiler. Did anyone of you installed any compiler?

Particularly the section Toolchains could be of interest to you.

Did you get this working? I got the GCC compiler installed through the Toolchains but in my case './configure' and 'make' does not get the PHP using the extension libxml. Do you have a step-by-step for getting php extensions to work on the DS-106??

Thanks in advance.

Yes.
1) I have used crosstools http://kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.43/doc/crosstool-howto.html on ubuntu to build the compiler. I was able to build a statically linked binary "hello world" which could run on ds. I didn't go further.
2) With a chrooted debian you can make something like apt-get install build-essentials and then compile directly on the ds. I use this if I need something what is not in debian or ipkg.

Is your problem the compiler itself or the ./configure, make process (e.g. missing libraries etc...) ? But then again I didn't go this direction so I'm afraid but probably I will be of no use to you...

No.

I have simply installed IPKG and then php-fcgi with ipkg install. This version is compiled with this parameters:

'./configure' '--build=i386-pc-linux-gnu' '--host=powerpc-603e-linux' '--target=powerpc-603e-linux' '--prefix=/opt' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/opt/etc/php.d' '--with-layout=GNU' '--disable-static' '--enable-dba=shared' '--with-inifile' '--with-flatfile' '--enable-dom=shared' '--enable-exif=shared' '--enable-ftp=shared' '--enable-pdo=shared' '--enable-shmop=shared' '--enable-sockets=shared' '--enable-sysvmsg=shared' '--enable-sysvshm=shared' '--enable-sysvsem=shared' '--enable-xml=shared' '--enable-xmlreader=shared' '--with-bz2=shared,/home/slug/optware/ds101g/staging/opt' '--with-db4=/home/slug/optware/ds101g/staging/opt' '--with-dom=shared,/home/slug/optware/ds101g/staging/opt' '--with-gdbm=/home/slug/optware/ds101g/staging/opt' '--with-openssl=shared,/home/slug/optware/ds101g/staging/opt' '--with-sqlite=shared' '--with-pdo-sqlite=shared' '--with-xsl=shared,/home/slug/optware/ds101g/staging/opt' '--with-zlib=shared,/home/slug/optware/ds101g/staging/opt' '--with-libxml-dir=/home/slug/optware/ds101g/staging/opt''--with-jpeg-dir=/home/slug/optware/ds101g/staging/opt' '--with-png-dir=/home/slug/optware/ds101g/staging/opt' '--with-freetype-dir=/home/slug/optware/ds101g/staging/opt' '--with-zlib-dir=/home/slug/optware/ds101g/staging/opt' '--with-gettext=/home/slug/optware/ds101g/staging/opt' '--enable-maintainer-zts' '--with-pcre-regex=/home/slug/optware/ds101g/staging/opt' '--with-regex=php' '--without-iconv' '--without-pear' '--enable-spl' '--enable-memory-limit' '--disable-cli' '--enable-cgi' '--enable-fastcgi' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect'

That solved my problems with php so I didn't do anything more.

Hello, I installed php-fcgi on my ds101j as explained in the preceding post but, it is always the version of origin which is carried out, there has to you it another modification to make? Thank you

1) Do you have a startup script for php-fcgi ? (in /opt/etc/init.d should be something like S..php (where .. is a number from the range 0-99) you need this to start up the php interpreter you will need to supply the port number where it shoud listen and a complete path to a php.ini file

2) You have to teach apache to forward PHP requests to the fcgi daemon. It seems you'll need mod_fastcgi so it's a no go probably.

3) Seems the only way is to use another web server. Either Lighttpd or nginx or whatever suits you.
