Getting HipHop source-code

mkdir dev
cd dev
git clone git://github.com/facebook/hiphop-php.git
cd hiphop-php
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=`/bin/pwd`/../
export HPHP_HOME=`/bin/pwd`
export HPHP_LIB=`/bin/pwd`/bin
cd ..

Building third-party libraries

libevent

wget http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.4.14b-stable.tar.gz
tar -xzvf libevent-1.4.14b-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-1.4.14b-stable
cp ../hiphop-php/src/third_party/libevent-1.4.14.fb-changes.diff .
patch -p1 < libevent-1.4.14.fb-changes.diff
./configure --prefix=$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
make
make install
cd ..

libCurl

Make sure that your system time is correct, otherwise ./configure will fail.

wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.21.2.tar.gz
tar -xvzf curl-7.21.2.tar.gz
cd curl-7.21.2
cp ../hiphop-php/src/third_party/libcurl.fb-changes.diff .
patch -p1 < libcurl.fb-changes.diff
./configure --prefix=$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH

As per: https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/26b487a5d6ed9da5bc8e4a134a88d3125884b852

• Edit lib/ssluse.c

As per: https://github.com/facebook/hiphop-php/issues/319#issuecomment-1445537

• Edit runtime/ext/extension.cpp

make
make install
cd ..

libmemcached

wget http://launchpad.net/libmemcached/1.0/0.49/+download/libmemcached-0.49.tar.gz
tar -xzvf libmemcached-0.49.tar.gz
cd libmemcached-0.49
./configure --prefix=$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
make
make install
cd ..

Building HipHop

cd hiphop-php
git submodule init
git submodule update
export HPHP_HOME=`pwd`
export HPHP_LIB=`pwd`/bin
cmake .
make

hphp binary can be found in src/hphp folder and is called hphp

If any errors occur, it may be required to remove the CMakeCache.txt directory in the checkout.

If your failure was on the make command, try to correct the error and run make again, it should restart from the point it stops. If don’t, try to remove as explained above.

(Optional) To build the older non-HHVM version

We’re still working on getting HHVM building smoothly on all platforms, if you run into trouble you can’t resolve, try reverting to an older version of the codebase using:

git checkout pre-hhvm
