Yesterday I spent quite some time trying to recompile PHP for OS X. I tried several guides I found on Google but they all seemed outdated.

Is there anyone who knows how to recompile PHP on OS X? I want to do this so I can make a CakePHP web application that reads information from IMAP. I would love to use this CakePHP plugin.

As long as CakePHP itself dosen't need to get recompile with php you can use Macports

To install imap you can use:

su port install php5-imap

macports offers a lot of "ports" (library) for php and as long as CakePHP dosen't use something uncommon it should work.

  • Thanks, that seems to work! Now I bump into another problem, it seems my build in Apache doesn't use this newly compiled php version.. Anyone knows how to change this?
