How to distribute compiled extensions?

Question

I have just started to experiment with Zephir over the weekend, and had managed to compile and run a hello world extension on the mac terminal. I have AMPPS installed, and am trying to install this extension on AMPPS. Not sure if my steps are correct, but if I copied the .so file over, I get this error from AMPPS:

Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/Applications/AMPPS/php-7.1/lib/extensions/ext/utils.so' - dlopen(/Applications/AMPPS/php-7.1/lib/extensions/ext/utils.so, 9): no suitable image found. Did find: /Applications/AMPPS/php-7.1/lib/extensions/ext/utils.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture /Applications/AMPPS/php-7.1/lib/extensions/ext/utils.so: stat() failed with errno=3 in Unknown on line 07.1.2

What is the correct way to install the compiled extensions on hosted servers in future?

Answer 1

The ERROR was obvious ： Unable to load dynamic library '/Applications/AMPPS/php-7.1/lib/extensions/ext/utils.so' . That may mean your .so lib was not found. Maybe you past your extension lib file into an incorrect path. So you can try to type php -i | grep extension in your terminal. And it will output your extension path like extension_dir => /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20151012 => /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20151012. Check your extension exist or not in this direction. BTW you can using command php -m to check how many extensions you have installed .
