Installation

short installation note:

• You need at least PHP 4.3.0 for the compression to work
• To install on PHP 4.3.0 and later at the Unix command prompt type pear install bcompiler
• To install on Windows, until the binary package distribution mechanism is finished please search the archives of the pear-general mailing list for pre-built packages. (or send an email to it if you could not find a reference)
• To install on older versions you need to make some slight changes to the build.
• untar the bcompiler.tgz archive into php4/ext.(Get it directly from PECL » http://pecl.php.net/get/bcompiler)
• If the new directory is now called something like bcompiler-0.x, then you should rename it to bcompiler (except you only want to build it as self-contained php-module).
• If you are using versions before PHP 4.3.0, the you will need to copy the Makefile.in.old to Makefile.in and config.m4.old to config.m4.
• run phpize in ext/bcompiler
• run ./buildconf in php4
• run configure with --enable-bcompiler (and your other options)
• make; make install
• that's it.
