I just got an Intel iMac (woo hoo!!) and there are no pre-built binaries of PHP or mySQL. I'm thinking about building them myself, and while Marc Liyange finishes his universal binaries, complete with all the good stuff he puts in, I thought I'd host a pre-built binary. Of course, I have *no* idea how to do this or if it's even worth it, but if it's doable, how would I go about it? Any ideas?

If it's not red and showing substantial musculature, you're wearing it wrong.

  • Download source code
  • Compile following instructions for OSX
  • Test extensively
  • Put online
  • Profit!

If you haven't done this before, you should perhaps not put the binaries online - I wouldn't want to offer something that I'm not entirely sure about. But it's probably an interesting exercise.

I've built stuff before, but how do I get a binary installer out of it?

MySQL already has a binary for Intel based Macs I think under Mac OS X Downloads.

It's really quite easy. A simple make, make install will do the trick.

However, choosing what to build into it will be up to you

Bastard. I guess I'll poke around and see what I can find.
