Make sure the environment is set up for SQL Anywhere.

Depending on which shell you are using, enter the appropriate command from the directory where SQL Anywhere is installed (by default, this is /opt/sqlanywhere16). On Mac OS X, the default directory is /Applications/SQLAnywhere16/System.

 . ./bin32/sa_config.sh

source ./bin32/sa_config.csh

Configure PHP as a CGI executable and with the SQL Anywhere PHP extension.

Run the following command from the directory where your PHP files were extracted:

$ cd PHP-source-directory
$ ./configure --with-sqlanywhere

The following example is for PHP version 5.2.11. You must change php-5.2.11 to the version of PHP you are using.

$ cd ~/php-5.2.11
$ ./configure --with-sqlanywhere

The configuration script will try to determine the version and location of your SQL Anywhere installation. If you examine the output of this command, you should see lines similar to the following:

checking for SQL Anywhere support... yes
checking     SQL Anywhere install dir... /opt/sqlanywhere16
checking     SQL Anywhere version... 16

Compile the executable:

$ make

Install the components.

$ make install
