configure: error: Please reinstall the ui distribution
RyanNerd opened this issue · comments
I'm trying to get this to work but when I run configure I get the output below. I've already compiled the libui.so from master on github, and added this to php.ini as an extention. Made sure this file could also be found in my path. What ui distribution does configure want?

i had the same problem
@Stricted Thanks. I thought something like this was the answer.
I think this issue should remain open. I spent a bit of time looking through the configure files and it looks like you can specify a path to libui using --with-ui=path/to/libui
config.m4
PHP_ARG_WITH(ui, for ui support,
[ --with-ui Include ui support])
PHP_ARG_ENABLE(ui-threads, for ui threads,
[ --enable-ui-threads Initialize X11 threads], no, no)
if test "$PHP_UI" != "no"; then
SEARCH_PATH="/usr/local /usr"
SEARCH_FOR="/include/ui.h" # you most likely want to change this
if test -r $PHP_UI/$SEARCH_FOR; then # path given as parameter
UI_DIR=$PHP_UI
else
AC_MSG_CHECKING([for ui files in default path])
for i in $SEARCH_PATH ; do
if test -r $i/$SEARCH_FOR; then
UI_DIR=$i
AC_MSG_RESULT(found in $i)
fi
done
fi
But it is broken. This needs to be fixed. Not everyone that uses PHP extensions is a C developer (myself included) and not being able to do:
phpize
./configure --with-ui=/where/libui/lives
make
is a buzz kill. I installed the sodium extension which also relies on the sodium external library, and I could select where the includes were located...
What's broken ?
checking for ui threads... no
should i have to install pthreads first and use PHP Thread Safe?
FWIW, the following libui patch adds make install to libui and doing that is one way to fix this issue.
Since I can't determine what is broken, I'm closing this ... if something is broken, please open a new issue and be as clear as possible ...
Note that you can specify the path to libui files, if you have a problem it's that libui itself does not have a make install, and there's not much I can do about that ...
