Compiling msession can be quite a pain. Believe me. 



Here's how I did it on a gentoo-box with gcc version 3.3.4 (20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)):



1. Download  and 

2. Extract them in /usr/local (That path is hardcoded, so you don't really have a choice since there isn't a configure script)

3. You should now the directory /usr/local/phoenix containing msession and src.

4. Enter the src-directory and rename Linux.mak to config.mak (or the corresponding file, if you're using another system. Don't use unixgcc.mak directly - it won't work.).

5. Type make

6. Type make install. You might have to create /usr/local/phoenix/lib yourself and then type make install again.

7. Change into the msession-directory and type make.



For both msession and phoenix you may have to edit the makefiles manually and comment out the postgreesql and odbc-code (if you don't have postgree installed).



8. Recompile php with --with-msession.



Voil�!

msession 1.0 (020603) is using /dev/urandom.

You can fix the no random data in FreeBSD's /dev/random by using rndcontrol (as root) and setting the interupts which it looks at for entropy.



Something like  rndcontrol -s 14 -s 15  should help it out.

If you have trouble connecting to the msessiond from a php-script, this might be the solution for you.



msessiond (and your php-extension) both use the libphoenix.a which, among other files, is built from a file called "mutils.cpp".



Open this file, and find a line saying:



FILE *f = fopen("/dev/random", "rb");



(I believe it is line 506. There's only this one.)



On my FreeBSD 4.5 Tiny, /dev/random seldom spits out data, so the program hangs on the next line (an fread() call). Use /dev/urandom instead, it always sends data.



Change the line above to:



FILE *f = fopen("/dev/urandom", "rb");



Then rebuild phoenix-lib, msessiond, and PHP. You might want to do a "make clean" to be sure the change is noted.
