Hello. I've written this page really just for me so that I have notes on how to compile clearsilver into php without using dpkg etc..

• Download and install autoconf 2.6.1 (apparently other newer versions tend to go wrong)
• I used libtool version 2.2.6
• Make sure other autoconf/automakes aren't installed (perhaps?)

1. Download php source, clearsilver-dev, extract Homme's clearsilver0.1 source into ext/clearsilver/
2. ./buildconf –force
3. ./configure –with-clearsilver –with-gd –with-zlib –with-jpeg –with-bz2 –with-openssl –with-png –with-xml –with-ldap=shared –with-pgsql=shared (I think we can actually make it as a module, but it doesn't seem to get installed, so you'd have to copy it like in the debian guide. Built in seems fine though.) Most of these –with options are to mirror my work server a bit more closely.
4. make
5. make install
6. remember to restart apache.. this is a real gotcha!
