Building latest version from source on Sabayon / Gentoo Linux I would like to work with the latest versions of development tools like wxWidgets,php etc. I prefer Gentoo linux and its derived Sabayon linux because it is developer friendly. Use this process if you would like to install from source the latest wxphp.

I have noticed that the phpize command on my latest sabayon gives error like this:

libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 2.4.2, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from an older release.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.4.2
libtool: and run autoconf again.
make: *** [src/app.lo] Error 63

To solve that I have removed the distribution provided php and wxGTK version using this command

equo remove php wxGTK

If you have gentoo you can use

emerge --unmerge php wxGTK

Download the latest wxwidgets source from www.wxwidgets.org

wget https://ncu.dl.sourceforge.net/project/wxwindows/3.0.0/wxWidgets-3.0.0.zip

(It is actually better to download from the website so that it selects the fastest mirror) Unzip and compile the wxwidgets source unzip wxWidgets-3.0.0.zip cd wxWidgets-3.0.0 ./configure`

If there are no errors in configuration you can proceed to make make After successful compilation you can install using make install

Now we will download latest php source from www.php.net

wget https://in1.php.net/get/php-5.5.9.tar.gz/from/this/mirror
tar -xvf php-5.5.9.tar.gz
cd php-5.5.9
./configure
make
make install

Now we can download and install wxphp source

wget https://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/project/wxphp/wxphp/3.0.0.0/wxphp-3.0.0.0.tar.gz
tar -xvf wxphp-3.0.0.0.tar.gz
cd wxphp-3.0.0
./build.sh

You can proceed with the instructions. It asked me to run phpize command. After running that, I have run the ususal ./configure make make install

Now wxphp is installed.
In order to use it you can add the following lines to your php.ini file

; load php wxwidgets module
extension=wxwidgets.so

You can test it by going to the examples directory and running a php program

php grid.php

You now have the latest versions of php,wxWidgets as well as wxphp.
