Pré-requis

Cette extension requiert la bibliothèque C cliente. Téléchargez cette dernière version à » https://github.com/uw-imap/imap et compilez-la.

Il est important de ne pas copier les fichiers sources IMAP directement dans le dossier d'inclusion système sous peine de conflits. À la place de cela, créez un nouveau dossier dans le dossier d'inclusion système, comme /usr/local/imap-2000b/ (le chemin et le nom dépendent de votre configuration et de votre version d'IMAP) et dans ce nouveau dossier, créez les dossiers nommés lib/ et include/. Depuis le dossier c-client des sources IMAP, copiez tous les fichiers *.h dans le dossier include/ et tous les fichiers *.c dans le dossier lib/. Additionnellement, lorsque vous compilez IMAP, un fichier nommé c-client.a est crée. Mettez le également dans le dossier lib/ mais renommez le en libc-client.a.

Note:

Pour compiler la bibliothèque C cliente avec SSL et/ou avec le support Kerberos, lisez la doc fournie dans la distribution.

Note: Sur Mandrake Linux, la bibliothèque IMAP (libc-client.a) est compilée sans le support Kerberos. Une version séparée avec SSL (client-PHP4.a) est installée. La bibliothèque doit être recompilée pour ajouter le support Kerberos.

For those using Ubuntu and who are completely daunted by compiling this, it's easy under Ubuntu:

Install libc-client-dev
# sudo apt-get install libc-client-dev

Install PHP5 imap:
# sudo apt-get install php5-imap

Restart Apache
# sudo service apache2 reload

Should work for most people.

It should be noted that the source code archives at the University of Washington, and the mirrors, have been dead for some time.

After few hours of testing it on CentOS 5 64 bit I'd like to share the steps required to compile imap with php:

1. Install openssl:

   yum install openssl openssl-devel

2. If you don't have openssl compiled and installed in /usr/local/ssl create symlink:

   ln -s /usr/lib64/openssl/engines/ /usr/local/ssl

3. Add the libraries:

   ln -s /usr/include/ /usr/local/ssl/include

4. Compile IMAP

  cd /path/to/imap_src
  make lnp SSLTYPE=unix

5. Copy files as described above
mkdir lib
mkdir include
cp c-client/*.c lib/
cp c-client/*.h include/
cp c-client/c-client.a lib/libc-client.a

6. Compile PHP
  cd /path/to/php/src
  ./configure --with-imap=/path/to/imap_src --with-libdir=lib64

A more secure & easy way to do this on Debian 7.7, php 5.4:

apt-get install php5-imap

Packages installed
  libc-client2007e mlock php5-imap

When compiling IMAP on a 64 bit machine, use: make EXTRACFLAGS=-fPIC.

Spent hours and hours on compiling PHP with IMAP support on CentOS 64-bit but after many trial and error sessions I got if fixed.

If you have set the '--with-libdir=lib64' flag and you encounter the the 'cannot find the c-client library' error while compiling, try to create a symlink 'lib64' to 'lib' in your imap installation dir.

Apparantly, PHP will search only in lib64 directories if the flag is set. This also applies on the IMAP library but documentation lacks on this point.

When compiling IMAP 2007f with php 5.3.27 on a 64 bit OL5.7 machine, add in the Makefile: EXTRACFLAGS=-fPIC and EXTRAAUTHENTICATORS=gss

If you run into an error similar to the following when compiling / making PHP:

errno 0x21c /usr/local/imap-2007e/lib/libc-client.a(netmsg.o)
ld: fatal: relocations remain against allocatable but non-writable sections
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `libphp5.la'

You need to recompile the IMAP library and add -fpic or -fPIC to your CFLAGS.

See:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35465

Also, if you compiled OpenSSL from source, you'll need to do the same, as you'll get error messages for libc-client.a
