Contributing to PHongo

Building from VCS

Developers who would like to contribute to the driver will need to build it from VCS like so:

$ git clone https://github.com/10gen-labs/mongo-php-driver-prototype.git phongo
$ cd phongo
$ git submodule update --init
$ phpize
$ ./configure
$ make patch
$ make -j8 all

The make patch operation should be a one time operation, but after pulling it new changes from upstream.. There may be other patches that need to be applied, likely not.

Be aware that we are submoduling the master branch of libmongoc and libbson as during the development of phongo there are occasional things we require that simply are not yet in a release (or even finished) :)
