Facebook now write their PHP code to target HipHop exclusively, so by trying to write code that works on both platforms, we'll be in new territory, to some degree. Maybe that's scary, but I think it can work.
Who's with me?
*grabs a battle axe* I'm with you!
I went ahead and compiled hiphop last night on a fresh VM. Couple of notes for anyone trying to join us.
For those of you on Ubuntu or other flavors of Debian, the guide at [0] wil pretty much walk you through it pain-free. One little gotcha: you need a libmemcached of at least 0.39, and the latest version in 10.04 and below is 0.31, so you'll either need to do a manual build, grab it from the newer repo, or go ahead and bite the bullet and upgrade. Oh, and run make from a screen and walk away for awhile, it's not the fastest build ever.
I finished building around 1am last night, didn't get to the next stage yet.
I might try building on OSX today. I couldn't get it to work ~6 months ago, but those issues may well be resolved by now.
