For now Roadsend can be used to compile CLI apps or webapps where you want to protect the source code.  The Roadsend Compiler is completely independent from the Zend Engine and actually compiles to a binary file for your operating system / architecture so very different from other source code protection systems such as Zend Guard, Ioncube or Bcompiler.  Roadsend also can use its PHP engine to interpret and run scripts just like the Zend Engine.

You will need to install the Bigloo package first then the Roadsend package.

Tested on Karmic (9.10)

• bigloo_3.2a-1_amd64.deb
• roadsend-php_2.9.8-1_amd64.deb

You will also have to change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH before it will work.  For some unknown reason putting this in .profile wont work so we are going to export this new path in our .bashrc file

$ echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib"' | tee -a ~/.bashrc

Tested on Jaunty (9.04), Karmic (9.10)

php-gtk_2.0.1-1_amd64.deb

Installation Instructions

Download the deb file for your version of Ubuntu above and double click this file when downloaded.

Once installed you will need to edit your php.ini file to get it to work.

$ sudo gedit /etc/php5/cli/php.ini

In the Dynamic Extensions part of the file add the line extension=php_gtk2.so

;
; If you wish to have an extension loaded automatically, use the following
; syntax:
;
;   extension=modulename.extension
;
; For example, on Windows:
;
;   extension=msql.dll
;
; ... or under UNIX:
;
;   extension=msql.so
;
; Note that it should be the name of the module only; no directory information
; needs to go here.  Specify the location of the extension with the
; extension_dir directive above.

extension=php_gtk2.so

You may wish to do a simple test to make sure all is working (taken from http://gtk.php.net/manual/en/tutorials.helloworld.php).

<?php
if (!class_exists('gtk')) {
 die("Please load the php-gtk2 module in your php.ini\r\n");
}

$wnd = new GtkWindow();
$wnd->set_title('Hello world');
$wnd->connect_simple('destroy', array('gtk', 'main_quit'));

$lblHello = new GtkLabel("Just wanted to say\r\n'Hello world!'");
$wnd->add($lblHello);

$wnd->show_all();
Gtk::main();
?>
