Saxonica recently released Saxon/C as a beta release of Saxon-HE on the C/C++ programming platform. APIs are offered currently to run XSLT 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 from C/C++ or PHP applications. Saxon/C is built from the Java product Saxon-HE 9.5.1.5 using the Excelsior JET tool [version 9.0 (MP2)]. The current release is Saxon-HE/C 0.3.1.
Follow the instructions to set up a server on DigitalOcean:
- 111.222.333.444
- Active
- 512MB Ram
- 20GB SSD Disk
- San Francisco 1
- Ubuntu 14.04 x64
Here is a quick overview of the server setup process:
- Initial Server Setup with Ubuntu 14.04
ssh root@111.222.333.444passwdadduser usernamevisudovi /etc/ssh/sshd_configservice ssh restartssh -p 12345 user@111.222.333.444ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "username@example.com"vim ~/.ssh/authorized_keys- Add SSH alias for
oceanon localhostvim ~/.ssh/config
On my localhost, I added the following configuration to the SSH configuration file ~/.ssh/config:
Host ocean
Hostname 111.222.333.444
User username
Port 12345
Now, it is easy to access the server via SSH by typing the following into a terminal:
ssh ocean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker libapache2-mod-fastcgi php5-fpm php-apc php5-gd
cd /etc/apache2/
sudo mkdir conf.d
sudo vim /etc/apache2/conf.d/php5-fpm.conf
sudo vim /etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf
This last step doesn't appear to be necessary.
sudo vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo reload ssh
Create an Apache configuration file: etc/apache2/conf.d/php5-fpm.conf

Find the instructions for installing Saxon/C on the Saxonica site.
cd ~/downloads
wget http://www.saxonica.com/saxon-c/libsaxon-HEC-setup64-v0.3.1.zip
unzip libsaxon-HEC-setup64-v0.3.1.zip
There are two files in the ZIP archive:
jet-1000-eval-en-linux-amd64-reg.bin
libsaxon-HEC-setup64-v0.3.1
Run the install script:
./libsaxon-HEC-setup64-v0.3.1
Which should list the files installed in the selected installation directory, then return:
Saxon-HEC 0.3.1 has been successfully installed on your computer.
Change directories into the Saxon-C-API directory:
cd Saxonica/Saxon-HEC0.3.1/Saxon-C-API/
Run the phpize command, which should return:
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version: 20121113
Zend Module Api No: 20121212
Zend Extension Api No: 220121212
Then run the ./configure --enable-saxon command.
If the configuration runs without errors, then copy the libraries supplied with Saxon HE/C download:
cd /usr/lib
cp -r ~/downloads/Saxonica/Saxon-HEC0.3.1/rt .
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/rt/lib/amd64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Edit the Apache environment configuration file:
sudo vim /etc/apache2/envvars
And add the following to the end of the file:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/rt/lib/amd64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Then, run the make command. If all goes well, you should see the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
/home/stephen/downloads/Saxonica/Saxon-HEC0.3.1/Saxon-C-API/modules
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Build complete.
Don't forget to run 'make test'.
To finish the Saxon install, run the following:
sudo make install
This should return the success message:
Installing shared extensions: /usr/lib/php5/20121212/
Create the saxon.ini file:
sudo vim /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/saxon.ini
The file should contain the following:
extension=saxon.so
The extension will be dynamically loaded when Apache is restarted:
sudo service apache2 restart && sudo service php5-fpm restart
Navigate to the phpinfo file to verify that the Saxon extension has been successfully enabled.
