Installing or Building HipHop PHP via RPM on CentOS 5

Installing hiphop via yum repo

Tag1 Consulting maintains a Yum repository and GitHub project based off of the RPMs here that will pull in necessary dependencies. It works alongside the EPEL and IUS repositories and can be installed with:

rpm -ivh http://epel.osuosl.org/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh http://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/Redhat/5/x86_64/ius-release-1.0-10.ius.el5.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh http://pkg.tag1consulting.com/hphp/x86_64/hphp-release-1.0-2.el5.noarch.rpm

These packages and their repository are sponsored by examiner.com

Run:
yum install hiphop-php -y

To build your own hiphop-php rpm packages

HipHop has been developed on CentOS and Fedora, but only based on source code and some patches. You may found this way is hard.
So, I create some patched RPM’s for easy HipHop installation on CentOS 5

At the moment, RPM’s only for 64 bits systems. I work on 32bits in that moment, and you can get RPMS as soon as possible.

PreRequires

Install addition repositories from CentOS 5 64bit:
Using sudo or as root user:

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://centos.alt.ru/repository/centos/5/x86_64/centalt-release-5-3.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

Install HipHop-PHP from RPMs:

Download rpms exclude doc and devel branches
Install then all as one rpm -Uvh *.rpm

Rebuild HipHop-PHP via RPMs:

Download rpm include devel branches and install them as one rpm -Uvh *.rpm
Download srpm package hphp and rebuild it use rpm-build: rpmbuild --rebuild hphp*.srpm

Update HipHop-PHP for last release:

Install srpm package hphp, then go to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
Remove hphp.tar.gz
Clone new release by git
Create tar.gz archive from release
Use rpm-build for create RPM: rpmbuild -bb hphp.spec
