php-build is a utility for building versions of PHP to use them side by side with each other. The overall structure is loosly borrowed from Sam Stephenson's ruby-build.

Clone the Git Repository:
% git clone git://github.com/php-build/php-build.git
Then go into the extracted/cloned directory and run:
% ./install.sh
This installs php-build to the default prefix /usr/local.
To install php-build to an other location than /usr/local set the PREFIX
environment variable:
% PREFIX=$HOME/local ./install.sh
If you don't have permissions to write to the prefix, then you have to run
install.sh as superuser, either via su -c or via sudo.
Install with phpenv
Locate your phpenv directory:
% ls $HOME/.phpenv
Clone the Git repository into phpenv plugins directory:
% git clone git://github.com/php-build/php-build.git $HOME/.phpenv/plugins/php-build
Now you can use php-build as phpenv plugin, as follows:
% phpenv install <definition>
The built version will be installed into $HOME/.phpenv/versions/<definition>.
