If you’re looking at this blog post, you should also take a look at this one which outlines how to tack on mcrypt without a php recompile. It worked for me.

[...] Since the version of PHP that comes with Snow Leopard may be missing some of your favorite extensions, here’s a link to some instructions on how to include them (untested by me): Making Snow Leopard’s PHP 5.3.0 usable in the real world [...]

hi adam,

thanks a lot for this walk through; saved me an awful lot of time!

a few notes you might want to add for clarity:

- the source which needs to be downloaded is php-5.2.13 (and not php-5.3.2 which is on top of the download page)
http://nl3.php.net/get/php-5.2.13.tar.bz2/from/a/mirror

- the mhash extension is not present in the php-5.3.2 source. even though the install from the 5.2.13 source results in a “configure: error: Please reinstall libmhash – I cannot find mhash.h” message, mcrypt installed and works without any issues… looks like mcrypt does not require the mhash extension to be installed

- as ploughguy already pointed out; the mcrypt extension needs to be activated. simply add: extension=mcrypt.so
to your php.ini file, restart apache and mcrypt is activated / shows up in the phpinfo view (modes_dir & algorithms_dir both use the default path so no need to uncomment those lines)

cheers

PloughBoy,

How did you fix your last issue?
I was also missing mhash from the PHP Source, I did have hash though. I downloaded mhash from here..
http://mhash.sourceforge.net/
I am having the same issue as you when running phpize for mhash.
I get this error
Cannot find config.m4.
Make sure that you run ‘/usr/bin/phpize’ in the top level source directory of the module

I am stuck. How do I proceed?
Thank you

Gabriel-

Yes, I should have been more clear. Just copy those *FLAGS commands and paste those into your Terminal. Hit return and you’re set! Those just set some flags in the global scope of the Terminal session that the compiler will pick up.

Hi Adam,

Thank you for the interesting post.

When you say:

“Set up your arguments environment with this command:

CFLAGS=’-O3 -fno-common -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc7400 -arch ppc64′
LDFLAGS=’-O3 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc7400 -arch ppc64′
CXXFLAGS=’-O3 -fno-common -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc7400 -arch ppc64′”

What do you mean? Do I have to type those commands in Terminal???

Thank you for helping!

Adam,
I have downloaded mhash as a separate download because it is not in the php/ext directory. phpize hates it – wants config.m4 which is not there.

As you can tell, PloughGuy is a php user, not a php setter-upper.
Thanks for your help…
