webdev-env

webdev-env provides a development environment targeted at web development.

Required software such as a webserver and scripting languages are built from source code and will be provided with a default configuration.

What does it do?

Currently this project is heavily aimed at a "LAMP"-like system. However, one future goal is to provide a generic and modular development environment for web development related tasks.

This is the current setup (as of 2015-06-06):

Apache-2.4 (latest stable)
- PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager)
- mod_macro (Support for basic configuration templates)
Multiple concurrent PHP instances
- PHP-5.3 (latest)
- PHP-5.4 (latest)
- PHP-5.5 (latest)
- PHP-5.6 (latest)
- PHP-master (branch master)
External PHP extensions (for each PHP instance)
- Zend OPcache (formerly Zend Optimizer+, which was merged into PHP as of PHP-5.5)
- Xdebug (Debugger/Profiler)
MariaDB-10.0.15
Subversion-1.8.13

How to setup?

The build system used is pkgbox. Required dependencies (libraries) are in most cases not built/installed automatically but need to be installed with your distribution's package manager. Most packages of webdev-env will be built against installed system libraries and is therefore not completely independent.

Example dependencies for a Debian system

# apt-get install build-essential git scons autoconf automake libtool bison re2c
# OLDER bison version might be needed! E.g. Debian jessie; download and install with `dpkg -i`; https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/libbison-dev/download https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd64/bison/download

# apt-get install libpcre3-dev zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev libxml2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libjpeg-dev libpng12-dev libxpm-dev libfreetype6-dev libmysqlclient-dev libgd2-xpm-dev libgmp-dev libsasl2-dev libmhash-dev unixodbc-dev freetds-dev libpspell-dev libsnmp-dev libtidy-dev libxslt1-dev libmcrypt-dev
