  1. make uninstall

In testing this I noticed that uninstall can fail because of it's dependencies: uninstall: phpthemis_uninstall rubythemis_uninstall pythonthemis_uninstall

If you have not installed phpthemis then no makefile will have been generated in src/wrappers/themis/php so the attempt to uninstall phpthemis with make distclean fails and causes the whole uninstall process to stop. I don't know if this would also apply similarly for python or ruby.

  1. One possible "Troubleshooting" case is the need to: sudo make install
  2. A more esoteric "Troubleshooting" case is OS X 10.11 SIP (aka Rootless). The makefile itself now does all the right things and all you need to do is: make phpthemis_install PREFIX=/usr/local

However, the phpize generated ./configure uses ```php-config --extension-dir''' to determine the final destination for phpthemis.so. The default /usr/bin/php-config will return something like /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212 ... which is non-writable with SIP.

A solution to this (there may be others) is to:

  1. Create a directory such as /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/sipfix
  2. Copy /usr/bin/php-config to /usr/local/bin/php-config and amend it to reference the new directory
  3. make phpinstall PREFIX=/usr/localwill now install /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/sipfix/phpthemis.so
  4. In php.ini set extension= /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/sipfix/phpthemis.so (i.e. use the full path)

I correct makefile uninstall target. Now before "make distclean" it will check is phpthemis makefile exitst

gene-eu-zz commented 8 years ago

What about the same checks for other languages?
