Ops... I get this error at line 16 (make)

gcc -g -O2 -pthread -Wall -Werror -pedantic -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wredundant-decls -o memcached memcached-memcached.o memcached-hash.o memcached-slabs.o memcached-items.o memcached-assoc.o memcached-thread.o memcached-daemon.o memcached-stats.o memcached-util.o memcached-cache.o -levent

Any ideas?

Thanks

Def use homebrew instead

Thanks for this gist!

Just for the record if anyone needs it:

For my XAMPP installation I used the following to compile with the proper PHP binaries for my case:

curl -L -O http://pecl.php.net/get/memcache-2.2.7.tgz
tar -xvzf memcache-2.2.7.tgz
cd memcache-2.2.7
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/phpize
./configure --enable-memcache --with-php-config=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/php-config
make
sudo make install

(I've installed libevent and memcached using macports and I used this code to compile the .so and add to PHP)

While running the make step of the memcached i am facing following error:
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make all-recursive
Making all in doc
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make all-am
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'.
gcc -g -O2 -pthread -Wall -Werror -pedantic -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wredundant-decls -o memcached memcached-memcached.o memcached-hash.o memcached-slabs.o memcached-items.o memcached-assoc.o memcached-thread.o memcached-daemon.o memcached-stats.o memcached-util.o memcached-cache.o -levent
clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-pthread'
make[2]: *** [memcached] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any suggestions on how to resolve this??

I'm also getting this -pthread error. That makes three of us.

Anyone can help?

@ecamaj actually four :)

Didn't find any solution to this compilation error, but I was able to install it via brew install memcached

I was building memcache 3.0.8 for PHP 5.6 from Acquia DevDesktop and I was getting error about incorrect architecture (also when I installed memcache via brew). The solution was to add "32bit" flags for the configuration script:

./configure --enable-memcache --with-php-config=/Applications/DevDesktop/php5_6/bin/php-config "CFLAGS=-m32" "CXXFLAGS=-m32" "LDFLAGS=-m32"

The error I was getting was something like wrong architecture in Unknown on line 0 in MAMP.
