Bug 360699 – Facebook HipHop PHP->C++ compiler framework ebuild request

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Anton Kochkov 2011-03-27 05:50:24 UTC]

"HipHop for PHP transforms PHP source code into highly optimized C++. It was developed by Facebook and was released as open source in early 2010.

HipHop transforms your PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then compiles it with g++ to build binary files. You keep coding in simpler PHP, then HipHop executes your source code in a semantically equivalent manner and sacrifices some rarely used features – such as eval() – in exchange for improved performance.

Facebook sees about a 50% reduction in CPU usage when serving equal amounts of Web traffic when compared to Apache and PHP. Facebook’s API tier can serve twice the traffic using 30% less CPU." - from HipHop wiki

Here is home of project - https://github.com/facebook/hiphop-php


Reproducible: Always

Any news or any maintainer for this one? It is very interesting to have this in Gentoo, specially if the server is Gentoo also!

Initial ebuild for hiphop, rather dirty, but handles necessary depencencies and patches and gets the job done. Installs itself and custom libraries into /usr/lib/hiphop-php + launcher scripts into /usr/bin. Keyworded as ~amd64 only as Facebook claims it works only on x86_64.

Probably best to put this in an overlay. I do not see how we can add those required patches.

[Comment 14 Arne Babenhauserheide 2013-05-08 11:28:35 UTC]

From what I can see, HipHop additionally requires net-libs/c-client.

I tried to build it via 

    layman -o http://gpo.zugaina.org/lst/gpo-repositories.xml -a bgo-overlay -f
    emerge hiphop-php

The build process fails at 61%, though. Last part of the log:
