PHP-Build - Building PHP 5.3.28 erro

Question

I am trying to install PHP 2.3.28 using php-build (https://github.com/CHH/php-build) in Linux Mint 16 (Ubuntu) but it does not compile. I am using php-build because I need to have multiple versions of php on my machine.

I am using this command:

php-build -i development 5.3.28 ~/local/php/5.3.28

After solving several errors of missing packages, an error is happening that I cannot identify.

See the full log.

I need some hint to solve this problem.

==UPDATE==

After adding the following lines in /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb php53.dotdeb.org all stable
deb-src php53.dotdeb.org stable all

And run the command:

apt-get build-dep php5 

I finally succeeded compile without any problems using php-build.

Now I will install php-version to easily switch between versions.

Answer 1

To use different version of php use xampp for development and testing. Install different versions of xampp to different folders and switch to needed version with /opt/lampp symlink.

You can get different xampp versions for linux here

opt directory structure will looks like

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   16 Jan 27 07:10 lampp -> /opt/lampp_1.7.7
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Sep 19  2011 lampp_1.7.7
drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Sep 19  2012 lampp_1.8.1
drwxr-xr-x 30 root root 4096 Dec  8 16:26 lampp_1.8.2_x86_64
drwxr-xr-x 30 root root 4096 Dec  2 11:26 lampp_1.8.3_x86_64
