UUID (uuid) Extension for HHVM

This is a port of the PECL uuid extension for HipHop Virtual Machine.

Prerequisites

This extension requires the <uuid/uuid.h> header file and libuuid library installed.

On Ubuntu 12.04, you need to install the "uuid-dev" and "libuuid1" packages.

Building & Installation

Requires HHVM 3.0 or later.

$ export HPHP_HOME=/path/to/hhvm
$ cd /path/to/extension
$ ./build.sh

This will produce a uuid.so file, the dynamically-loadable extension.

To enable the extension, you need to have the following section in your HHVM config file:

DynamicExtensionPath = /path/to/hhvm/extensions
DynamicExtensions {
        * = uuid.so
}

Where /path/to/hhvm/extensions is a folder containing all HHVM extensions, and uuid.so is in it. This will cause the extension to be loaded when the virtual machine starts up.

Testing

To run the test suite:

$ cd /path/to/extension
$ ./test.sh run-tests.php
