To get Phing you will need to have PEAR installed along with PHP. On a Windows system you can install PEAR by running the go-pear.bat file and running through the prompts there.
To get Phing just run the following commands.
1 2 | pear channel-discover pear.phing.info pear install phing/phing |
You should see the install output looking like this:
1 2 3 4 | downloading phing-current.tgz ... Starting to download phing-current.tgz (361,527 bytes) .........................................................................done: 361,527 bytes install ok: channel://pear.php.net/phing-2.1.1 |
You can now run Phing by typing the following command:
phing
However, this will automatically try to find a file in the current directory called build.xml, and if it doesn't find this file it will simply state the following:
Buildfile: build.xml does not exist!
Before stopping. This build.xml file (although it doesn't have to be called this) is what controls what phing will do and is what you will spend most of your time looking at.
You can view which version of phing you are running by using the -v parameter.
phing -v
Which prints out something like:
Phing version 2.1.1
To view a list of available commands use the -h parameter.
phing -h
Which will print out:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | phing [options] [target [target2 [target3] ...]] Options: -h -help print this message -l -list list available targets in this project -v -version print the version information and exit -q -quiet be extra quiet -verbose be extra verbose -debug print debugging information -logfile <file> use given file for log -logger <classname> the class which is to perform logging -f -buildfile <file> use given buildfile -D<property>=<value> use value for given property -find <file> search for buildfile towards the root of the filesystem and use it Report bugs to <dev@phing.tigris.org> |
