php-gtk3 for windows #24

subabrain · 2022-11-10T12:57:10Z

Hey there,

i got to compile phpcpp as a .lib / .dll file for windows.

here a link to the solution:

CopernicaMarketingSoftware/PHP-CPP#443

i am trying to compile php-gtk3 now with visual studio and phpcpp ..

But it is not very easy :/

Maybe someone could help - thanks a lot!

Hey Robert.

You are doing a lot nice work, thank you

What the problem or error? i dont have any windows machine that can i install and help, but i can try help if you show some erros and processes

Thank you

subabrain · 2022-11-11T07:23:49Z

Hi,

i dont have problems with the libraries (i get them from vcpkg) - but with compiling errors ... i also tried to add the header files from glib/gtk/gdk and so on ... i will post the exact errors here later ...

Robert

subabrain · 2022-11-11T16:39:27Z

ok here,

in c its:

and in c++:

so if i take c there is no static function and in c++ there are no types ...

please help here :)

Greets
Robert

scorninpc · 2022-11-12T01:21:44Z

why c++ has no types? everything is c++

C has no classes, so C is out of possible

I'm compiling with standard 11. can this be the problem? i think visual studio has 17 as default, if i'm not wrong

Try to add -std=c++11 as parameter in g++ compiler

edit:
I dont know, but i think the first print is a syntax error, and the second is a gtk lib reference problem

subabrain · 2022-11-12T12:39:34Z

hi,

i think you misunderstood - i get this errors when compiling with the c / c++ language ...

but i will try one thing - i will report here ....

Robert

subabrain · 2022-11-13T09:48:51Z

hi,

you cant compile gtk with g++ - you must compile as c

here is the c++ workaround:

https://www.gtk.org/docs/language-bindings/cpp

please help here!

Greets
Robert

scorninpc · 2022-11-14T14:01:40Z

do you agree that C++ and C are the same language for any operating system?
do you agree that Gtk+ is C++, and it is a bind of GTK in C?
what compiler are you using? MSVC? do you agree that if on linux and mac g++ compiles, the problem may be in the MSVC compiler?

here is the c++ workaround:
https://www.gtk.org/docs/language-bindings/cpp

This is not workaround, this is a language bind for C++, as there is a language bind for python, Go and more. The PHP-GTK is not a bind of GTKMM, this is a bind on GTK =)

Please, try provide your environment. What compiller, what steps, what erros .....

subabrain · 2022-11-14T17:57:11Z

hi,

i fully agree :)

Greets
Robert

subabrain · 2022-11-21T11:44:40Z

Hi there,

ok - i think i figured out ... it has to do with the glib dependencies ...

maybe someone could help / explain me what to do?

Greets
Robert

scorninpc · 2022-11-21T12:13:03Z

The better way to try, maybe be do some simple projects with GTK, without PHP, to know dependencies of GTK on windows. After you compile a simple hello world with GTK, you know dependencies, and can add this to PHP-GTK

subabrain · 2022-11-21T12:14:54Z

Hi,

okay - its a good way :)

i will try later :)

Greets
Robert

subabrain · 2022-11-22T11:54:09Z

Hi,

ok, im very far now ... maybe one question:

where is the type "GType" defined?

i searched but its not working .... with the:

#include "glib/gtypes.h"
#include "glib/glib.h"
#include "gobject/gtype.h"
#include "gobject/gobject.h"
#include "glib/glib-object.h"

Greets
Robert

scorninpc · 2022-11-22T13:16:31Z

Where did you use GType?

https://github.com/GNOME/glib/blob/1d7dfb68e8e31ad0f1d682626b7a37ff9a7dc512/gobject/gtype.h

subabrain · 2022-11-22T13:18:52Z

here

Greets
Robert

scorninpc · 2022-11-22T13:20:27Z

ah ok

This is defined on gtk.h , that include gobject.h, that include gtype.h

That's why i'm suspecting that your environment is missing something

subabrain · 2022-11-24T10:19:41Z

hi,

okay - i fixed now the gtype stuff :)

Greets
Robert

subabrain · 2022-12-09T11:40:10Z

hi,

okay - i think i got it now ... just compile it like this:

https://www.proggen.org/doku.php?id=c:tutorial:libraries:visualstudio

then just add the .dll of phpcpp to your project and then compile with visual studio :)

Greets
Robert

subabrain · 2022-12-12T08:54:12Z

hi,

for all others - the problem was the glib dependencies in visual studio ...

this helps a lot:

subabrain · 2022-12-13T20:16:13Z

ok -i got to compile but im linking at the moment :P

(i try to make 64 bit) :)

Greets
Robert

subabrain · 2022-12-16T09:19:21Z

ok - i will post today evening the .dll ... and an explanation how to compile with visual studio :)

EDIT: Sorry i have problems with 64 bit - i will do 32 ;)

Greets
Robert

scorninpc · 2022-12-17T13:39:26Z

thats run a simple gtkwindow? =D veeeery nice

subabrain · 2022-12-17T14:22:45Z

thats run a simple gtkwindow? =D veeeery nice

what you mean exactly?

Greets
Robert

scorninpc · 2022-12-17T15:15:44Z

ok - i will post today evening the .dll ... and an explanation how to compile with visual studio :)

did you compiled and run any php-gtk test? its working?

subabrain · 2022-12-17T23:42:23Z

ok - i will post today evening the .dll ... and an explanation how to compile with visual studio :)

did you compiled and run any php-gtk test? its working?

EDIT: It compiles and links correct but i have problems to get it to run as extension .......

you can compile/link yourself -> all you need is msys2 and a working sourcecode version of phpcpp like posted above by y´myself ....

Good Luck!

I will let you know if it works :P

Greets
Robert

subabrain · 2022-12-19T21:40:34Z

hi,

ok - i got it but i dont see any window :P - tell me please if this is maybe because of the php version?

i took php 7.4.0?

Greets
Robert

scorninpc · 2022-12-19T22:46:41Z

i need to see your php code to tell something to you

when you run php -m gtk is on the list?

subabrain · 2022-12-19T23:06:12Z

here:

i will post tomorrow ...

Greets
Robert

scorninpc · 2022-12-20T13:37:30Z

Nice, you done it

Now you can run

<?php

Gtk::init();

function GtkWindowDestroy($widget=NULL, $event=NULL)
{
	Gtk::main_quit();
}

$win = new GtkWindow();
$win->set_default_size(300, 200);
$win->connect("destroy", "GtkWindowDestroy");
$win->show_all();

this need to open a blank window

scorninpc · 2022-12-21T13:15:37Z

Very nice! i'll create a VM this weekend to test this. If you provide the steps to compile, i'll update documentation and try compile too

Thank you for your perseverance =D

subabrain · 2022-12-21T13:18:15Z

Hi Bruno,

ok .. i will do it later ;)

thanks a lot!

scorninpc · 2022-12-21T21:05:15Z

i think we need use the same, for the updates

fork and do a PR with your changes

Hi,

okay - please try this one:

Thanks!

Merry Christmas!
Robert

PS: @scorninpc please tell me if its working for you now ... thx!

scorninpc · 2022-12-26T14:52:10Z

okay - please try this one:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AifVi84AXOwIhZR28F7EKuSOFAsuFg?e=uiPT5S

Yes, it's working

You must copy these files from the msys "bin" folder to your PHP binary root folder:

Ok, i've updated the documentation

I found a little problem with pixbuf icons and images

I think the problem 1 are that cannot find stock icons. Try to run this example

The second problem, i dont know why, PHP cannot find my image

This is the example i'm running

<?php

Gtk::init();

function GtkWindowDestroy($widget=NULL, $event=NULL)
{
	Gtk::main_quit();
}

echo "\n\n";
echo getcwd() . "\n";
echo "\n\n";
echo system('dir') . "\n";
echo "\n\n";

$win = new GtkWindow();
$win->set_default_size(300, 200);
$win->connect("destroy", "GtkWindowDestroy");

$img = GtkImage::new_from_file("C:\\Users\\admin\\Desktop\\examples\\twitter.png");

$btn = new GtkButton("Tw");
$btn->set_image($img);

$win->add($btn);
$win->show_all();


Gtk::main();

Anyway, you dont know how i'm happy to run a example on windows hahahah

subabrain · 2022-12-26T15:46:55Z

Hi,

ok i see ... i will have a look!

EDIT: Ok i found something in the header file: gdk-pixbuf-transform.h - i will have a look .... give me some time ;)

-> Ok i found it - the placement of the "glibconfig.h" was not in the "glib" folder .... i think we have to update the tutorial again 😄

Greets
Robert

scorninpc · 2022-12-26T21:29:41Z

I think that are 2 problems

1 - I dont know why it cannot find my image
2 - When it not find my image, they try to add a broken image icon, so the icons of pixbuf are not on zip package

For the first one, i really dont understand. I've done all tests I can, but no success

For second, maybe add the icons anywhere and add it to path, maybe works. I'll do a installer after package are OK, so dont worry with that "manual action" ok?

EDIT:

-> Ok i found it - the placement of the "glibconfig.h" was not in the "glib" folder .... i think we have to update the tutorial again smile

Sorry, i didn't see this =D

scorninpc · 2022-12-26T22:07:17Z

I solved creating the cache with gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache and copy c:\msys64\mingw64\lib\gdk-pixbuf-2.0 to PHP_DIR/lib/

This can be a right way?

scorninpc · 2022-12-26T22:22:13Z

Appear to works fine! From png, from jpeg and theme name

subabrain · 2022-12-26T22:31:36Z

👍 👍 👍

subabrain · 2022-12-27T09:07:40Z

Hi,

ok - please add your adjustments to the Tutorial and please update - to put the file "glibconfig.h" from the folder "mingw64\lib\glib-2.0\include" to the folder "mingw64\include\glib-2.0". And update the Preprocessor to:

%(PreprocessorDefinitions)
_WINDOWS
_WIN32
NDEBUG
ZEND_DEBUG=0
_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
PHP_WIN32
ZEND_WIN32
_MSC_VER=1934
PHP_COMPILER_ID="VC15"
_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE
_NOEXCEPT=noexcept
G_PLATFORM_WIN32
GIO_COMPILATION
BUILDING_PHPCPP
PHP_VERSION_ID=70300
GDK_PIXBUF_COMPILATION

Hello @ALL,

i saw, that there is a folder needed - the name is "share" and it is located in the root dir of php ... i packed now all together so this version should work for you :)

Have Fun!

Notice: Please tell me if its working for you all 😃

scorninpc · 2022-12-28T21:05:23Z

Works fine, but what version of GTK are you using? The icon theme are the correct version?

Look GtkSpinner for example. Its added to 3.24. The example works fine but without loading icon

With my Adwaita icon theme, its appear, look:

scorninpc · 2022-12-28T21:08:37Z

to put the file "glibconfig.h" from the folder "mingw64\lib\glib-2.0\include" to the folder "mingw64\include\glib-2.0"

Where i can put this on the tutorial? GTK Dependencies section?

Ok, updated

Can I add this build to be downloaded on release page?

Another question: its easy to try with PHP 8.1.14? maybe some PR of PHP-CPP needed to be merged manually, but you think its can be done? if its a problem for you, I'll try to follow the steps

Hi,

yes of course you can add this build 👍

yes its possible to do with PHP 8 - but you have to compile it new with the sources and binaries for PHP 8.

i will have a look :)

So I think i'll close this issue, and open another for PHP 8.1 ok? Now we have a official windows package =)

Thank you alot
