Building

Let's assume that you have installed PHP to /opt/php5/ and ICU is installed to /opt/icu/. Run the following commands:

$ /opt/php5/bin/phpize 
$ ./configure  --with-php-config=/opt/php5/bin/php-config --with-icu-dir=/opt/icu 
$ make

 

If your ICU is installed to a non-standard directory then you might want to specify its location in LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so that dynamic linker can find it:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/icu/lib

Otherwise, if PHP and ICU are installed to their default locations, then the additional options to `configure' are not needed.
