In trying to get ODBC PDO working with Microsoft's MSSQL driver on Debian I've found that I need to apply patches to the PHP extension (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50444 for those patches).

Having patched the code I want to rebuild the php5-odbc package. I don't really want to have to rebuild all the PHP packages though. How do I go about doing this?

  • @Mark I already know how to fetch the packages' source, patch it, and rebuild the whole set of packages; I'd like to know how to specify that I only want to compile a single package from the set. – Richard Turner Apr 07 '13 at 07:01

I came across your question when wondering this myself. Simply to browse to the extension directory source then:

  1. phpize (for versioning extension correctly)
  2. ./configure (with any options needed)
  3. make

It will probably build in the libs folder. You then just need to copy (and overwrite) the module to your main PHP install i.e. /usr/lib64/php/modules/{extension}.so.
