PHP-GIT does not compile

[brianlayman]

I've spent several hours trying to get some version of this to compile. I've even tried older version of the repo, and only hit other walls. If anyone can get this to compile I would be extremely appreciative of the instruction set - even if it involves source changes.

So here is the repo README.md instructions:

git clone https://github.com/libgit2/php-git.git --recursive
 cd libgit2
 mkdir build && cd build
 cmake ..
 cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -build .
 make
 cd ../../
 phpize
 ./configure
 make
 make install
 sudo make install
 # add `extension=git2.so` to your php.ini

Line 2 bombs, so I assume it should be
cd php-git/libgit2

That works fine till you get down to the make command which bombs out with syntax error:

Linking C static library libgit2.a
[ 25%] Built target git2
[ 26%] Generating ../tests-clar/clar_main.c, ../tests-clar/clar.h
  File "clar", line 65
    self.clar_path = os.path.abspath(clar_path) if clar_path else None
                                                 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
make[2]: *** [../tests-clar/clar_main.c] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/libgit2_clar.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

If I try other revisions I get different errors, but I don't want to cloud the issue.

As with anything, this issue is somewhat urgent. Any help would certainly be appreciated!

@brianlayman sorry to late response. can you tell me your environment? i could compile it with my machine.
clar test framework requires python as i known.

@chobie Thanks for your reply. This server has Python 2.4.3 - though I can dual install 2.7.3 if needed.
I wonder if that's it. Though would that cause a syntax error to be spit out of make?

[onlinecco]

having the same issue. Python is the newest version.

Upgrading gcc 4.1.2 to 4.4.7...still doesn't work

[chobie]

Python is the newest version.

what is your python version? at least clar requires 2.5 above.

[onlinecco]

like i said my python's version is 2.7

[chobie]

@onlinecco could you report specifically?
python also has 3.x version. so I can't figured out which version have you used.

It seems different problem at this time because you have used python 2.7.
for now, can you copy & paste your build error here?
