How do I build the YAML PECL extension for Windows when there isn't already a DLL available?
To build the YAML PECL extension for Windows when there isn't already a DLL available, you'll need to follow these general steps:
Download and install a C compiler for Windows, such as Microsoft Visual Studio or MinGW. Make sure that the compiler is compatible with the version of PHP you're using.
Download the source code for the YAML PECL extension from the PECL website.
Extract the source code to a directory on your computer.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory where you extracted the source code.
Run the following command to generate the necessary files for building the extension:
phpize
Next, run the following command to configure the build:
bash./configure
Finally, run the following command to build the extension:
gomake
If the build completes successfully, you should see a
yaml.dll
file in themodules
directory.Copy the
yaml.dll
file to your PHP extensions directory.Add the following line to your PHP configuration file (
php.ini
) to enable the YAML extension:makefileextension=yaml.dll
Save the
php.ini
file and restart your web server or PHP runtime environment.
Note that these steps may vary slightly depending on the specific version of the YAML PECL extension and the C compiler you're using. You may need to adjust the commands or configuration options to match your specific environment.
