Installation

Distribution Packages

Ideally, you will want to use precompiled packages and we prepared PDLib PHP extension for some systems. See the Packages documentation. If you are not lucky you should compile it as described below.

Build

Requirements

• Dlib 19.13+
• PHP 7.0+
• C++11
• libx11-dev (on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libx11-dev)

Recommended

• BLAS library
  If no BLAS library found - dlib's built in BLAS will be used. However, if you install an optimized BLAS such as OpenBLAS or the Intel MKL your code will run faster. On Ubuntu you can install OpenBLAS by executing: sudo apt-get install libopenblas-dev liblapack-dev

Dependencies

Dlib

Install Dlib as shared library

git clone https://github.com/davisking/dlib.git
cd dlib/dlib
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ..
make
sudo make install

Build and install

git clone https://github.com/goodspb/pdlib.git
cd pdlib
phpize
./configure --enable-debug
make
sudo make install

Configure PHP to use it

vim youpath/php.ini

Append the content below into php.ini

[pdlib]
extension="pdlib.so"

Tests

For tests, you will need to have bz2 extension installed. On Ubuntu, it boils to:

sudo apt-get install php-bz2

After you successfully compiled everything, just run:

make test
