Compilation failure: v1.3.0

Hi,

I'm getting a compilation error when trying to compile v1.3.0.

  • I cloned the latest 1.3.0 just a few minutes ago.
  • I'm installing on the latest version of Debian
  • I have the php5-dev package installed.
  • I have no problem when compiling v1.2.3

I am not sure what the package name is for Debian but for Ubuntu you need to install:

apt-get install libpcre3-dev

Yep, that did it. Is that a new requirement of 1.3.0?

Phalcon now make direct calls to the PCRE binary functions instead of calling them in the PHP userland.

So I guess this is just a "bleeding-edge" problem due to me compiling a version that doesn't have released directions. Fair enough.

I'm stuck on CentOS 6.5 because the PCRE version is 7.8-6.el6 and compiling Phalcon fails with:

/usr/include/php/ext/pcre/php_pcre.h:29:18: error: pcre.h: No such file or directory

Is PCRE 8.x required?

You need to install pcre dependencies:

sudo yum install php-devel pcre-devel gcc make

Thanks for the lightning fast response. That did the trick!

Installed Phaclom this morning on ubuntu 13.10. Had the same issue. Requirements section of the installation documentation seems to be outdated as far as pcre is concerned.

Strange, the phalcon/docs repo has the updated text. Seems like the docs weren't updated by the newest commits. @phalcon @xboston
