Building / Compiling From Source

Considerations for compiling this extension from
source.

• The extension name is ‘mysql_xdevapi’, so use
  –enable-mysql-xdevapi.

• Boost: required, optionally use the
  –with-boost=DIR configure option or set the
  MYSQL_XDEVAPI_BOOST_ROOT environment variable. Only the boost
  header files are required; not the binaries.

• Google Protocol Buffers (protobuf): required,
  optionally use the –with-protobuf=DIR configure option or set the
  MYSQL_XDEVAPI_PROTOBUF_ROOT environment variable.

  Optionally use make protobufs to generate
  protobuf files (*.pb.cc/.h), and make clean-protobufs to
  delete generate protobuf files.

  Windows specific protobuf note: depending on your
  environment, the static library with a multi-threaded DLL runtime
  may be needed. To prepare, use the following options: -Dprotobuf_MSVC_STATIC_RUNTIME=OFF
  -Dprotobuf_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF

• Google Protocol Buffers / protocol compiler
  (protoc): required, ensure that proper ‘protoc’ is available in the
  PATH while building. It is especially important as Windows PHP SDK
  batch scripts may overwrite the environment.

• Bison: required, and available from the PATH.

  Windows specific bison note: we strongly
  recommended that bison delivered with the chosen PHP SDKis used
  else an error similar to “zend_globals_macros.h(39): error C2375:
  ‘zendparse’: redefinition; different linkage
  Zend/zend_language_parser.h(214): note: see declaration of
  ‘zendparse'” may be the result. Also, Windows PHP SDK batch scripts
  may overwrite the environment.

• Windows Specific Notes: To prepare the environment,
  see the official Windows build documentation for either » the original SDK (older, PHP-7.1
  only) or » the current SDK (PHP-7.1 or
  newer).

  We recommend using the backslash ‘\\’ instead of a
  slash ‘/’ for all paths.
