$ cd capstone/build
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build . --config Release

For Win64

$ cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" ..

VC++ 2015 (SDK 7.1) using VC++ 2017 (SDK 8.1)

Compile Capstone PHP on Windows:

Resource:

• http://blog.benoitblanchon.fr/build-php-extension-on-windows/
• https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild

Step:

1. Install Visual Studio 2015.

2. Open VS2015 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt.

3. The PHP binary tools SDK is located in C:\php-sdk

4. Create build directory once:

   $ cd c:\php-sdk\
   $ bin\phpsdk_buildtree.bat phpdev
   

   Copy C:\php-sdk\phpdev\vc9 to C:\php-sdk\phpdev\vc14.

5. The PHP source code is located in C:\php-sdk\phpdev\vc14\x86\php-7.0.14-src

6. Put libraries on which PHP depends in C:\php-sdk\phpdev\vc14\x86\deps

7. Clone this repo in C:\php-exts\capstone

8. Setup environment:

   $ cd c:\php-sdk\
   $ bin\phpsdk_setvars.bat
   

9. Build config as phpize:

   $ cd C:\php-sdk\phpdev\vc14\x86\php-7.0.14-src
   $ buildconf.bat --add-modules-dir=C:\php-exts
   

10. Configure:

    $ cd C:\php-sdk\phpdev\vc14\x86\php-7.0.14-src
    $ configure.bat --disable-all --enable-cli --enable-capstone
    

11. Make:

    $ cd C:\php-sdk\phpdev\vc14\x86\php-7.0.14-src
    $ nmake php_capstone.dll
    

The generated file will be in .\Release_TS and .\x64\Relase_TS for Win64.

Testing:

$ echo extension_dir=%cd%\Release_TS >> Release_TS\php.ini
$ echo extension=php_capstone.dll >> Release_TS\php.ini
$ nmake test TESTS=C:\php-exts\php-capstone\tests

Compile Capstone PHP on Linux/Mac:

$ phpize --clean
$ phpize
$ ./configure

Patch (C++ only) on Mac:

If you get error regarding __ZNSt8ios_base4InitD1Ev it is because the libtool using gcc instead g++ compiler in which it doesn't link to libstdc++. Change the command produced in Makefile from --mode=link $(CC) into --mode=link $(CXX) on the rule ./capstone.la (bottom).

Build:

$ make

Make sure the modules/capstone.so linked with libstdc++ (C++ only):

$ otool -L modules/capstone.so

Test:

$ make test

Install:

$ make install
$ echo "extension=capstone.so" > /usr/local/etc/php/7.0/conf.d/ext-capstone.ini
$ brew services restart php70
