Recompile PHP with ZTS enabled on Ubuntu
I am trying to install pthreads with
pecl install pthreads
But I got this error during installation
configure: error: pthreads requires ZTS, please re-compile PHP with ZTS enabled
I was looking for this error. It seems that I need to install a newer version of PHP with ZTS enabled. Are there easier ways to recompile with ZTS enabled instead of reinstalling PHP?

Here is the quoted answer from the Digital Ocean community:
ZTS support is a time setting option and cannot be enabled at startup time. You will need to build php yourself with
--enable-maintainer-zts
to enable it.One way to do this is to modify an existing package and rebuild it. First, we will need to install and download a few things:
Install build dependencies:
sudo apt-get build-dep php5
Install developer tools:
sudo apt-get install devscripts
Download the source code:
apt-get source php5
Now enter the source directory and edit the debian / rules file:
cd php5-5.5.9+dfsg/ # The version will be different depending on the Ubuntu release nano debian/rules
Find the section starting with
COMMON_CONFIG=--build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) \
and add the following to customize flags:--enable-maintainer-zts \ --enable-pthreads \
Then we want to jot down the version number for the package, so this is above the PHP version in the repository. Run
dch -i
and create a new changelog entry:php5 (5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.5+zts1) trusty; urgency=medium * Rebuild with ZTS support. -- You <doesnt@matter.com> Mon, 10 Nov 2014 13:14:32 -0500
The package can now be built using the command:
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck debuild
It will take quite a long time and also require some memory. If you are on a 512MB server, you will probably need to add some swap.
Several packages will be created in the parent directory:
cd .. ls *deb
You can now install individual packages with
sudo dpkg -i pakage_name.deb
or all of them withsudo dpkg -i *deb
