Progress

[Mal Curtis]

I was just wondering if we can get an update on progress. When the
Github repo was set up you said it would be a few days, hopefully
sooner and it's now been a week. I understand that there might be some
technical difficulties getting it ready for public consumption but can
you please be transparent and let us know what the revised timeline
for release is.

Cheers

We're wanting to make sure the first release is as simple as possible for people to use and have been working towards streamlining this as much as possible. We've improved the install process of a few required dependencies such as xhp, timelib, sqlite3 and afdt. This leaves you with just libevent and libcurl to install from source before you can build HipHop. Ideally we can eliminate both of these in the future and use the stock builds.

Today we patched it to work with the latest versions of Boost and tested building on a clean Ubuntu install.

Haiping worked on checking Wordpress compiled and checking that a few other popular pieces of software were working. A bug report was filed and fixed for some Wordpress issues. http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/13054

I'm intending to push my remaining changes to our github on Tuesday and let Haiping perform a few QA tests and merge any required changes in prior to release.

Thanks for the detailed info.

Will binaries be provided as well ? I'm not interested in having my custom HipHop build actually :)

HipHop is only for Linux at the moment, when compiling your application it needs access to the header files for the various libraries that it links against. Which at the moment are shared and not static.

I understand: you'll need the necessary (C/C++) headers to build your application. But the question is: will HipHop (Linux) binaries be made available in addition to the HipHop sources ? Or will it be available as source only ?

I think there are enough people who will be publishing binaries.

Source only for now.

When can we expect source, Eagerly waiting for it.

Above in the thread they say "we are working at it". They try to release it today !

[Craig Lance]

I'm willing to test HipHop against Ubuntu using Joomla!  I guess the Ubuntu won't need much testing, now.

Are we using GNU's GCC?

AFAIK yes, but they think about testing with the intel compiler.
