PEAR installer missing on Windows + PHP 4.3.0 (pear.bat refers to missing file?)

[Peter Zuidhoek]

I installed PEAR on top of a clean PHP 4.3.0 installation on a Windows XP
Pro machine. See output below. The base packages all seem to have been
installed correctly (for example, a simple test with DB works). But the
installer file "pear.bat" is missing. There is just a file named
"pear.bat_old".

The warning

** WARNING! Backed up old pear to C:\\Programs\\PHP\pear.bat_old

is misleading, considering that there was no file "pear.bat" when I started
the installation of PEAR.

If I rename "pear.bat_old" to "pear.bat" and fix the paths in it, it does
not work. The file contains the command

%PHP_BIN% -C -d output_buffer=1 -d include_path=%PEAR_PATH% -f
%BIN_DIR%\pear -- %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

But the file "%BIN_DIR%\pear" -- as referred to by the -f option -- is
missing. (What directory should %BIN_DIR% point to anyway?)

I have searched CVS, I can't find any such file. What's the status on all
this?

Related to Peters post, also 4.3.0 Win32:

go-pear seems to install always to drive c:\, even if there you specify
another location.

The empty directories
pear
pear\data
pear\docs
pear\tests

are created in the correct location but the files itself are placed in a
parallel directory structure on c:\pear instead of e:\pear. Also a directory
c:\php_iis is created with the files pear.bat and pear in it.

See the installation output below.

Additionally, there is a disinformation in go-pear output, as there is
nothing related to PEAR included in the PHP distribution (as of 4.3.0 on
win32).

Christoph,

None of the empty directories you mention were created. All of the base PEAR
packages, documentation, registry files were created in the right locations
(in my case c:\programs\php\pear and downwards). All that is missing is the
installer. So my question remains.

Peter

To all those interested:

I got the installer working after I

1) Created the directory C:\Programs\PHP\pear\scripts

(C:\Programs\PHP is my PHP installation path.)

2) Copied the file scripts\pear.in from the PEAR 1.0 package tar-file
(PEAR-1[1].0.tar.gz) to this C:\Programs\PHP\pear\scripts and renamed a copy
of this file to "pear".

3) Copied the file scripts\pear.bat from the PEAR 1.0 package tar-file to
the directory C:\Programs\PHP and adapted the following lines:

set PHP_BIN=c:\programs\php\cli\php.exe
set BIN_DIR=c:\programs\php\pear\scripts
set PEAR_PATH=c:\programs\php\pear

%PHP_BIN% -C -d output_buffer=1 -d include_path=%PEAR_PATH% -f
%BIN_DIR%\pear -- %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

4) The installer works! Both

pear list

and

pear search Auth

produced plausible output.

5) From the output of

pear config-show

I could see that php_bin was still pointing to c:\php4\php.exe. I changed
this with:

pear config-set php_bin c:\programs\php\cli\php.exe

The other settings seemed OK.

6) For example, installing the package Auth through the installer worked
just fine.
