PHP UUID extension

breun · **Posted:** Thu May 05, 2011 11:47 am

I'd like to request a package for the PHP PECL UUID extension: http://pecl.php.net/package/uuid

The EPEL repository has a package for this extension called uuid-php, but it contains the extension for the default CentOS PHP distribution (and lacks a configuration file to load the extension).

The EPEL src RPM for the uuid package is here if that helps: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/e ... l5.src.rpm The uuid and uuid-* packages are all built from the same spec file.

I've tried to install the PHP UUID extension for PHP 5.3.6 (Atomic packages), but both rebuilding the EPEL src rpm and installing through pecl fail.

Rebuilding the EPEL src rpm:

(...)
# rpmbuild --rebuild uuid-1.5.1-3.el5.src.rpm

Installing the extension via pecl:

Quote:

# yum install uuid-devel
(...)
# rpm -ql uuid-devel | grep include
/usr/include/uuid.h
# pecl install uuid
(...)
checking uuid/uuid.h usability... no
checking uuid/uuid.h presence... no
checking for uuid/uuid.h... no
configure: error: 'uuid/uuid.h' header not found
ERROR: `/var/tmp/uuid/configure --with-uuid' failed

Any idea how I can get either method to succeed?

Looks like the PECL method is looking for uuid.h somewhere other than /usr/include.

Try copying it to /usr/include/uuid/ or similar possibilities?

(82 RPMs put it in /usr/include/uuid/uuid.h according to http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/searc ... d%2Fuuid.h so I think there's a reasonable chance it might work)

For future reference:

yum provides */uuid.h

On el5 its this:
e2fsprogs-devel-1.39-23.el5_5.1.i386 : Ext2/3 filesystem-specific static libraries and headers

and on Fedora 14:
libuuid-devel-2.18-4.8.fc14.x86_64 : Universally unique ID library

best way to check with a backport is always to use provides, or if you really have to Requires: /path/to/file in the .spec

Thanks for that, after installing e2fsprogs-devel I was finally able to build the uuid extension through pecl.
