====== ibm_db2 (IBM DB2 PHP driver) Windows, How to compile ======


===== Building ibm_db2  =====

==== Requirements =====
  * ibm_db2 sources ([[http://pecl.php.net/get/ibm_db2]] )

==== Dependencies ====
  * IBM DB2 DataServer Driver ([[https://www.ibm.com/services/forms/preLogin.do?source=swg-idsdpds]])
  
==== Compile ====
Download latest IBM_DB2 extension source code from [[http://pecl.php.net/package/ibm_db2|PECL]]. Extract it and put it in standard location (PECL directory).

Download IBM Data Server Driver Package from the link provided in **Dependencies** section. Install this package on the server (say, the location will be C:\SQLLIB).

Once the installation is done, next step is to setup the environment. Open VC command prompt and set few environment variables. Following are the command to set these variables:
<code>
> set LIB="C:\SQLLIB\lib";%LIB%
> set INCLUDE="C:\SQLLIB\include";%INCLUDE%
> set PATH="C:\SQLLIB\bin";%PATH%
</code>


After this step, run standard steps to build PHP. The flag to include IBM_DB2 extension is **--with-ibm_db2**, and it should point to SQLLIB directory. So, in current case, the flag will be like:
<code>
> configure --with-ibm_db2="C:\SQLLIB",shared
</code>
