@a2nt Did you try a composer install before? There should be some libraries that the build process depends on, so composer install should solve that. I've i may ask, what is the reason you try to build it by yourself?

hmm looks like there's no way to get it running with the latest debian because it requires PHP < 7.0.0

@a2nt We have a read-to-use Debian build, please look at https://github.com/appserver-io/appserver/releases :-)

@wagnert it will work with old stable debian 8, but it won't work with the latest debian because old one use libcurl3, while the latest has libcurl4 which is required for php 7
So the package has dependencies issues:

appserver-runtime : Depends: libqdbm14 but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: libcurl3 but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: libcloog-ppl0 but it is not installable or
                            libcloog-ppl1 but it is not going to be installed
> # apt install libcurl3

Hi @a2nt

what Debian version are we talking about? We are currently building on a Debain 9. Debian 10 still gives us issues.

Have a look at our build: https://travis-ci.org/appserver-io-php/runtime/jobs/577862522
Build runs with the following command:
apt-get update; apt-get install -y ant git; ant dependencies-init; ant local-build -Dbuild.number=local -Dtarget-os.major.version=9 -Dtarget-os.minor.version=9.

This is the runtime though!
Please note that an appserver installation needs the appserver-dist AND the appserver-runtime package.
The runtime provides a threadsafe compiled PHP-5.6

The dist package is also tested and built for Debian 9. Does need some additional/backport dependencies though. This is most likely what you are seeing.

This should work: https://travis-ci.org/appserver-io/appserver/jobs/620595455
Command currently used apt-get update && apt-get install -y ant git php && ant dependencies-init -f vendor/appserver-io-dist/debian/build.xml && ant local-build -Dbuild.number=$BUILD_NUMBER -Dtarget-os.major.version=9 -Dtarget-os.minor.version=9 -f vendor/appserver-io-dist/debian/build.xml

If you followed the documentation then the documentation is outdated. :(

Please try as our travis builds are currently doing or use the provided packages.

If you are talking about Debian 10 then you might have to wait some more days. :(

@wick-ed I have unstable version of debian (sid) guess need to wait for a while

Hi @a2nt sid as in "upcoming Debian version"? That might be a liiiiittle to bleeding edge for us. ;)
You might have a look when Buster releases are ready, maybe this will already work for you.

See #1142

I am closing this for now.

a2nt commented

@wick-ed thx.

Sid is "unstable version", Buster is "testing/upcoming version". For the testing webserver i prefer sid.

Main issue that it must be built with PHP7 + libcurl4 in this case it will be easy to build it for the latest Debian.
They have dropped support of PHP5 at the future versions
