For dbg-cli-2.15.5, the source won't compile and the binary won't run, as follows:

configure does not report any errors.
make reports numerous errors, mostly '...was not declared in this scope' (see full output below)
make install is of course not useful until the outcome of make improves.

I'm not a c programmer, but have done a fair bit of configure/make/make install (never had one go smoothly, but also never been my fault!). I can read only simple Makefiles, this one is too much for me.

The binary does not run on my machine: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
I did sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libreadline.so /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 to try to dupe around this and got:
error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
And can't figure out what cheating to do for that.

Any pointers on how to resolve?

Sincerely,
Aleksander

My machine:
Ubuntu 8.10
kernel: 2.6.27-7
libtool: 2.2.4-0ubuntu4
automake: 1:1.10.1-3 (ie 1.10.x)
autoconf: 2.61-7ubuntu1
gcc: 4:4.3.1-1ubuntu2
glibc: 2.7-1 (but it's a virtual package, does not really exist. It points to libc6 2.8~20080505-0ubuntu9, but I'm not sure the implications of this for compiling, I expect there should be a softlink, but don't find one on this machine.

I ran into the same issues with the source not compiling, binary not running, exactly the same errors as Aleksander. Heh heh, I tried renaming the libreadline.so file too... Then I found Aleksander's post and knew recompilation was the only way.

I ended up fixing the source code by including limits.h, stdlib.h, string.h to the complaining files. It seems to work now and I'm able to debug simple php programs using the setup instructions found at patrickmin.com/linux/tip.php?name=php_debugger

I'm guessing that my fixes are unix specific and will break other platform builds (read windows). I'll make the fixed sources available if you let me know.

I wrote it up the fix at ordinarymlc.blogspot.com/2010/04/php-debugger-or-lack-thereof.html

How I Installed dbg-cli (client) for php5 on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic 64-bit:




... but i don't think it worked. there were a lot of warnings even though it compiled the binary. i can't get it to listen.
i also can't run the old pre-compiled binary. seems like u'd need an Ubuntu Breezy virtual machine or something--way way old and not maintained.
has anyone gotten dbg-cli working lately?
