    Building PHP for Leopard

    Has anybody had any success compiling a PHP build for Leopard,
    specifically for Leopard running on a 64 bit Intel architecture? I
    have been using the Entropy builds up to now but there has been a
    major lack in progress with them in recent months and I get the
    impression the developer has stopped working on them.

    Apple do provide a PHP with Leopard but its capabilities are severely
    limited, and Apple, in their infinite wisdom, didn't compile any
    extensions for you to include in the php.ini file. The only database
    supported in the Apple build is MySQL and important extensions like GD
    and mcrypt are missing. So if anyone else can help out with a better
    build I'd appreciate it.

      I've attempted to do just that, and couldn't get it to compile
      successfully.

          which is a better approach than building your own version that may get
          trashed by Apple's next update.  Unfortunately, it doesn't say if it's
          64-bit Intel.  It also hasn't been updated in a while.

          On SUN's X86 Solaris, you can mix applications that are 32-bit and
          64-bit and run them on the 64-bit kernel (but only run the 32-bit on the
          32-bit kernel).  You can't _build_ stuff with a mix of 32 and 64-bit
          libraries, but you can run both.  I don't know what MacOS X does with
          64-bit and 32-bit applications.

          hire someone to build this for you.  Your call on how much it's worth to
          you in time and money.

          I was already aware of MAMP and Entropy, MAMP is no use to me because
          it only seems to support MySQL and I work for a Postgres shop.
          Entropy is what I'm already using, but its 5.2.5 build for Leopard
          hasn't been updated in months and it appears as if the maintainer
          isn't working on it anymore.

          MacOS on 64 bit systems can run both 32 and 64 bit code, but a 64 bit
          application can't use 32 bit libraries.
