Compiling the source code for the ElastiCache cluster client for PHP

This section covers how to obtain and compile the source code for the ElastiCache Cluster Client for PHP.

There are two packages you need to pull from GitHub and compile; aws-elasticache-cluster-client-libmemcached and aws-elasticache-cluster-client-memcached-for-php.

Compiling the libmemcached library

Prerequesite libraries

  • OpenSSL 1.1.0 or higher (unless TLS support is disabled by ./configure --disable-tls).

  • SASL (libsasl2, unless SASL support is disabled by ./configure --disable-sasl).

To compile the aws-elasticache-cluster-client-libmemcached library

  1. Launch an Amazon EC2 instance.

  2. Install the library dependencies.

    • On Amazon Linux 201509 AMI / Amazon Linux 2 AMI

      sudo yum -y update
sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf libevent-devel make perl-core pcre-devel wget zlib-devel 
// Install OpenSSL 1.1.1
wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1c.tar.gz
tar xvf openssl-1.1.1c.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.1.1c
./config
make
sudo make install
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/libssl.so.1.1 /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.1

    • On Ubuntu 14.04 AMI (not required for Ubuntu versions that come with OpenSSL >= 1.1)

      sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libevent-dev gcc g++ make autoconf libsasl2-dev

// Install OpenSSL 1.1.1
wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1c.tar.gz
tar xvf openssl-1.1.1c.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.1.1c
./config
make
sudo make install
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libssl.so.1.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1

  3. Pull the repository and compile the code.

    git clone https://github.com/awslabs/aws-elasticache-cluster-client-libmemcached.git
cd aws-elasticache-cluster-client-libmemcached
touch configure.ac aclocal.m4 configure Makefile.am Makefile.in
mkdir BUILD
cd BUILD
../configure --prefix=<libmemcached-install-directory> --with-pic --disable-sasl

    If running ../configure fails to find libssl (OpenSSL library) it may be necessary to tweak the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable:

    PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/ssl/lib/pkgconfig ../configure --prefix=<libmemcached-install-directory> --with-pic --disable-sasl

    Alternately, if you are not using TLS, you can disable it by running:

    make
sudo make install
../configure —prefix=<libmemcached-install-directory> --with-pic --disable-sasl --disable-tls

Compiling the ElastiCache Memcached auto discovery client for PHP

The following sections describe how to compile the ElastiCache Memcached Auto Discovery Client

Compiling the ElastiCache Memcached client for PHP 7 or higher

Replace PHP-7.x with the version you are using.

Install PHP:

sudo yum install -y amazon-linux-extras
sudo amazon-linux-extras enable php7.x

Run the following set of commands under the code directory.

git clone  https://github.com/awslabs/aws-elasticache-cluster-client-memcached-for-php.git
cd aws-elasticache-cluster-client-memcached-for-php 
phpize
mkdir BUILD
CD BUILD
../configure --with-libmemcached-dir=<libmemcached-install-directory> --disable-memcached-sasl

If running ../configure fails to find libssl (OpenSSL library) it may be necessary to tweak the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to OpenSSL’s .PC file directory:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/ssl/lib/pkgconfig ../configure --with-libmemcached-dir=<path to libmemcached build directory> --disable-memcached-sasl

Alternatively, if you are not using TLS, you can disable it by running:

make
make install
../configure --with-libmemcached-dir=<path to libmemcached build directory> --disable-memcached-sasl --disable-memcached-tls
Note

You can statically link the libmemcached library into the PHP binary so it can be ported across various Linux platforms. To do that, run the following command before make:

sed -i "s#-lmemcached#<libmemcached-install-directory>/lib/libmemcached.a -lcrypt -lpthread -lm -lstdc++ -lsasl2#" Makefile

Compiling the ElastiCache Memcached client for PHP 5

Compile the aws-elasticache-cluster-client-memcached-for-php by running the following commands under the aws-elasticache-cluster-client-memcached-for-php/ folder.

git clone  https:////github.com/awslabs/aws-elasticache-cluster-client-memcached-for-php/tree/php.git
cd aws-elasticache-cluster-client-memcached-for-php 
sudo yum install zlib-devel
phpize
./configure --with-libmemcached-dir=<libmemcached-install-directory>
make
make install
