How to install eAccelerator for XAMPP on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion

Question

I am having trouble installing eAccelerator while installing XAMPP Mac OS X Lion.

Firstly, I had this problem:

Mohd-Yusufs-MacBook-Pro:APC-3.1.9 mohdyusuf$ $PHP_PREFIX/bin/phpize grep: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/include/php/php-5.3.1/php/main/php.h: No such file or directory grep: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/include/php/php-5.3.1/php/Zend/zend_modules.h: No such file or directory grep: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/include/php/php-5.3.1/php/Zend/zend_extensions.h: No such file or directory Configuring for: PHP Api Version: Zend Module Api No: Zend Extension Api No: 

So I solved this by installing the “developer package” on the XAMPP download page.

Then I had problems with the compiled version of eAccelerator:

  PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/php-5.3.1/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/eaccelerator.so' - dlopen(/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/php-5.3.1/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/eaccelerator.so, 9): no suitable image found. Did find: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/php-5.3.1/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/eaccelerator.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture in Unknown on line 0 

How to solve it?

Answer 1

In the source of the eAccelerator dir:

make clean

./set CFLAGS = '- arch i386' APXSLDFLAGS = '- arch i386' --enable-eaccelerator = shared --with-php-config = / Applications / XAMPP / xamppfiles / bin / php-config

to do

sudo make install

Ps: don't forget to enable the eaccelerator.so extension in / Applications / XAMPP / xamppfiles / etc / php.ini
