How to install Gearman PHP extension on Windows?
As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, there is no official Gearman PHP extension available for Windows. The Gearman PHP extension is primarily designed for Unix-based systems and is not natively supported on Windows.
However, there is an unofficial workaround to install Gearman on Windows using Cygwin or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Here's a step-by-step guide to installing Gearman on Windows using Cygwin:
Install Cygwin:
Download and install Cygwin from the official website: https://www.cygwin.com/Select Required Packages:
During the Cygwin installation, you will be prompted to select packages. Ensure that you select the following packages:php
: PHP interpreter packagephp-devel
: PHP development packagephp-pear
: PHP PEAR packagegcc-core
: C Compiler packagemake
: GNU make packagelibuuid-devel
: Libuuid development package
Additionally, you will need to install the Gearman server package:
gearmand
: Gearman server package
Download and Build Gearman PHP Extension:
After installing the required packages, download the Gearman PHP extension source code from the official repository: https://github.com/wcgallego/pecl-gearmanExtract the downloaded source code and navigate to the
pecl-gearman
directory.To build the Gearman PHP extension, run the following commands in the Cygwin terminal:
bashphpize
./configure
make
Install Gearman PHP Extension:
After building the extension, install it using the following command:bashmake install
Configure PHP to Load Gearman Extension:
Edit your PHP configuration file (php.ini
) and add the following line to enable the Gearman extension:iniextension=gearman
Restart Apache or PHP-FPM:
After configuring PHP, restart your web server (e.g., Apache) or PHP-FPM to apply the changes.
Please note that this workaround may not be as stable or well-supported as native Gearman support on Unix-based systems. If possible, consider using Gearman on a Unix-based server for production environments.
Since the situation may have changed or improved since my last update, it's always a good idea to check the latest official sources and forums for any updates on Gearman PHP extension support for Windows.
