&reftitle.required; To use Ming with PHP, you first need to build and install the Ming library. Source code and installation instructions are available at the Ming home page: &url.ming; along with examples, a small tutorial, and the latest news. Download the ming archive. Unpack the archive. Go in the Ming directory. make. make install. This will build libming.so and install it into /usr/lib/, and copy ming.h into /usr/include/. Edit the PREFIX= line in the Makefile to change the installation directory.
