can't compile with latest PHP version

[cmpscabral]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile this extension to use with libxl but I keep getting errors. I've sucessfully installed this in the past with previous versions of OS/PHP/php_excel/libxl.

This is what I'm running on a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.0.4.1 (amd64) with PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.6 (cli) (built: Feb 13 2015 19:17:11)

#!/bin/sh
# Get libxl library
echo "Downloading and extracting libxl 3.5.4 for linux..."
cd /tmp
wget -q -O libxl-lin-3.5.4.tar.gz ftp://xlware.com/libxl-lin-3.5.4.tar.gz
tar -xf libxl-lin-3.5.4.tar.gz
cd libxl-3.5.4.1/
cp lib64/libxl.so /usr/lib/libxl.so
cp -r include_c/ /usr/include/libxl_c

echo "Downloading and compling PHP_EXCEL extension for libxl"
wget -q -O php_excel.zip https://github.com/iliaal/php_excel/archive/master.zip
unzip php_excel.zip
cd php_excel-master/
phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config --with-libxl-incdir=/usr/include/libxl_c/ --with-libxl-libdir=/usr/lib/ --with-excel
make
make install

And this is what 'm getting in return:

I also tried with older versions of libxl and php_excel and I'm able to compile the extension but all tests fail and I get errors saying PHP module version is different from the one the extension is being/was compiled against. I can't really know what to do about this one - this is what I get with php -v after compiling php_excel 0.9.8 with libxl-3.5.3.0:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: excel: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20100525

any help would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you for your report. Anyways it should work with the latest LibXL version 3.6.0+.
