Q:
I’m having trouble following the steps in the README.md (https://github.com/PDFTron/PDFNetWrappers/blob/master/README.md) regarding how to build the PHP wrappers (https://github.com/PDFTron/PDFNetWrappers) on Linux. Could you give concrete example commands of what exactly to run?
A:
Suppose you wanted to build and run the 64-bit PHP wrappers on Linux. You could run the following set of commands:
mkdir wrappers_build # Make a directory to build the wrappers in.
cd wrappers_build # Move to that directory.
git clone GitHub - PDFTron/PDFNetWrappers: Code repository for building different language bindings for PDFNetC. # Git the code.
cd PDFNetWrappers/PDFNetC # Move to where we download PDFNet.
wget http://www.pdftron.com/downloads/PDFNetC64.tar.gz # Download PDFNet.
tar xzvf PDFNetC64.tar.gz # Unpack PDFNet.
mv PDFNetC64/Headers/ . # Move PDFNet Headers/ into place.
mv PDFNetC64/Lib/ . # Move PDFNet Lib/ into place.
cd … # Go back up.
mkdir Build # Create a directory to create the Makefiles in.
cd Build # Move to that directory.
cmake -D BUILD_PDFNetPHP=ON … # Create the Makefiles with CMake.
make # Build the PHP wrappers.
make install # Copy the PHP wrappers to where the samples can find them.
cd …/Samples # Move to the Samples directory.
./runall_php.sh # Run all PHP code samples, using the new wrappers.
