[Tikiwiki-devel] Dev tools (PDT & xdebug on a Mac)

[J B. <jm...@no...>]

Hi Tiki-Devels

In anticipation of a summer of Tiki fun (hopefully) i decided to try again
to get a proper PHP debugger working on my dev machine (an Intel Mac). After
a couple of days of fraught configuring and compiling i now have it just
about working and wanted to share how i managed it with everyone - not just
for Mac users as all of this is Open Source and cross-platform. I seem to
remember i contributed to a page on something.tw.o ages ago but... ah, got
it!
    http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Mac+Tools (updated)

The basic ingredients are Eclipse, Subclipse, PDT, smartypdt & xdebug

I've made a start at writing up how i've set it up but i think the page
shouldn't be on doc.tw.o so as not to scare the grown-ups - but where should
it go? dev.tw.o somewhere seems most likely...

For now it's here:
    http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Developing+TikiWiki+with+Eclipse+on+a+Mac

But now, for some actual debugging! I'm hoping to get the editor switching
thing working over the next few days - my current fix isn't good enough.
More soon...
