### Building PHP from source
### Building PHP source code
On \*nix systems:
*For Windows, see [Build your own PHP on Windows](https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild_sdk_2).*
PHP uses autotools on Unix systems to configure the build:
./buildconf
./configure
make
make test
./configure [options]
See `./configure -h` and `make -h` for configuration options. For example, the
`-j` option allows parallel execution of the build recipes where `N` is the
number of available processor cores:
*See `./configure -h` for configuration options.*
make -j N
make [options]
For Windows, see
[Build your own PHP on Windows](https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild_sdk_2).
*See `make -h` for make options.*
The `-j` option shall set the maximum number of jobs `make` can use for the build:
make -j4
Shall run `make` with a maximum of 4 concurrent jobs: Generally the maximum number of jobs should not exceed the number of cores available.
## Testing PHP source code
PHP ships with an extensive test suite, the command `make test` is used after successful compilation of the sources to run this test suite.
It is possible to run tests using multiple cores by setting `-jN` in `PHP_TEST_ARGS`:
make PHP_TEST_ARGS=-j4 test
Shall run `make test` with a maximum of 4 concurrent jobs: Generally the maximum number of jobs should not exceed the number of cores available.
The [qa.php.net](https://qa.php.net) site provides more detailed info about testing and quality assurance.
## Installing PHP built from source
After a successful build (and test), PHP may be installed with:
make install
Depending on your permissions and prefix, `make install` may need super user permissions.

## Testing
To run tests the `make test` is used after a successful compilation of the
sources. The `-j` option provides faster parallel execution based on the number
of cores (`N`):
make -j N test
