Howto: Package Dependencies

There are not many out there, but if you happen to be one of those, you can bundle your dependencies with your ext.phar.

Have the dependencies listed in your PECL package.xml and just create the extension PHARs of the dependencies prior running pharext in the root of your source directory.

Example with pecl_http

Install pharext:

█ http.git<git=master...origin/master>$ composer require --dev m6w6/pharext

Output:

Using version ~3.0 for m6w6/pharext
./composer.json has been created

Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
  - Installing m6w6/pharext (v2.0.0)
    Downloading: 100%

Package raphf dependency:

█ http.git<git=master...origin/master>$ ./vendor/bin/pharext -vps ../raphf.git

Output:

Package propro dependency:

█ http.git<git=master...origin/master>$ ./vendor/bin/pharext -vps ../propro.git

Output:

Now package pecl_http itself:

█ http.git<git=master...origin/master>$ ./vendor/bin/pharext -vps .

Output:

Installing

Installing the PHAR should then look similar to:

█ http.git<git=master...origin/master>$ ./pecl_http-2.4.0dev.ext.phar -i /etc/php.ini -s
