Improving PHP requires a working build environment to test changes, the following section deals with setting up a working build environment.
</p>
<p>
Your build environment should have an appropriate toolchain that includes a working C compiler,
for those not working in Microsoft Windows, you will need a working, compatible autotools installation, and at the very least a shared copy of zlib.

For most *nix like operating systems, some external dependencies may be required to bring a build to completion;
if a build fails because of missing headers or libraries, issuing a variant of the following command should resolve those dependencies, allowing the build to continue:
<ul>
<li><pre class="small">[sudo] yum|apt-get|ports install package[-dev[el]]</pre></li>
</ul>

For those working in <i>Ubuntu Linux</i>, you can run the following command to automate the installation of dependencies:
<ul>
<li><pre class="small">sudo apt-get build-dep php5</pre></li>

If the compilation of <i>an extension</i> should fail because of missing dependencies, <i>Ubuntu Linux</i> can attempt to automate the resolution of those dependencies by issuing:

<ul>
