Thank you for this, but it doesn’t work for me.
I tried to make it work on leopard 10.5.4 Server.

I am working on moving my working l10n web site from Linux machine to Mac OS X 10.5.2. I am glad to see this instruction. But while I was trying to “make” php 5.2.5, it failed. It seems the compiling directory has problem. Hope I will get some help from here too. I got:

Well, I feel like a fool. I was using a 64 bit machine and didn’t realize it. All is well.

I just tried these instructions on Leopard (client) and they worked great. I then followed the instructions on Leopard Server and they don’t work. I did everything the same, but I do not get gettext support listed when I do a phpinfo!

This all worked great for me on my MacBook Core 2 Duo (64-bit), but only after I used the longer ./configure mentioned for both gettext and php. I suggest that you modify the original post, because I followed the instructions to the letter and it didn’t work until I found the 64-bit instructions in the comments. Thanks for putting this up, I never would have figured it out.

@scott

There’s no php.ini file by default. so waht you have to do is reanming the php.ini.default to be php.ini

@Richard

yes you are right. I didn’t make check but there’s no issue without doing that step.

Not working! I don’t know why?

I noticed you go right from “make” to “make install” without a “make check.” You have more guts than me, mon ami.

On my Leopard box, for example, gettext compiles without incident, but fails more tests than it passes on a “make check.”

To get thing to work on 10.5 I had to add the

MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 CFLAGS=”-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp” CCFLAGS=”-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe” CXXFLAGS=”-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe” LDFLAGS=”-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -bind_at_load” ./configure

To both the gettext and the php steps.

In my /etc/php.ini I have not commented out the
extensions_dir = “./”
directive.

After a “apachectl restart”, then everything works fine.
