The farmOS Docker images are built on Debian (Linux), and they include GEOS PHP. You could refer to the Dockerfile to understand how it is being installed in that context, and then see if that works in your context.

github.com

farmOS/farmOS/blob/219e00c8744d38159d217c353245006374379e3a/docker/Dockerfile#L4


      
          # Use the official Drupal 10 image to build GEOS PHP extension.
          FROM drupal:10.1 as php-dependencies
          
          # Build and install the GEOS PHP extension.
          # See https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/geos/php-geos
          ARG PHP_GEOS_VERSION=e77d5a16abbf89a59d947d1fe49381a944762c9d
          ADD https://github.com/libgeos/php-geos/archive/${PHP_GEOS_VERSION}.tar.gz /opt/php-geos.tar.gz
          RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libgeos-dev \
            && ( tar xzf /opt/php-geos.tar.gz -C /opt/ \
              && cd /opt/php-geos-${PHP_GEOS_VERSION} \
              && ./autogen.sh \
              && ./configure \
              && make \
              && make install \

It is basically:

apt-get install libgeos-dev
Download and unpack https://github.com/libgeos/php-geos/archive/e77d5a16abbf89a59d947d1fe49381a944762c9d.tar.gz
Run:

./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install

I know that works on Debian (because our Docker images build successfully). I don’t know if it will work on other flavors of Linux.

will try.

aathi179 · March 15, 2024, 11:43am

geos installed successfully.but, still geos not enabled.

mstenta · March 15, 2024, 1:44pm

I forgot, the instructions above are only to install the extension, but you also need to enable it in PHP just like any other extension. This process might differ depending on your environment.

In the Docker image this is done here: farmOS/docker/Dockerfile at 219e00c8744d38159d217c353245006374379e3a · farmOS/farmOS · GitHub

The Docker image has a special docker-php-ext-enable command.

I think ultimately you just need to add extension=geos to your PHP configuration (php.ini) wherever that is in your environment. But this is the extent of my knowledge, because I always use the Docker image so I haven’t done this in other contexts myself. Please share what worked for you when you figure it out!

finally solved. i was installed php7.4,8.1 and 8.3.i am using php8.1 for apache2 but, when i was run ./autogen.sh cmd it build geos for php8.3. then i understood (help of chatGPT) . After i run phpize8.1 and ./configure --with-config-file-path=/usr/bin/php-config8.1 it will configure geos for php8.1. then i run make && make test && make install cmd. after added extension reference to below file.

apache2/conf.d/geos.ini

extension=geos.so

now it’s enabled. thank you @mstenta .

mstenta · March 15, 2024, 2:58pm

Perfect! Thanks for sharing the solution @aathi179! I’m sure someone else will find it helpful in the future.

I tried installing GEOS php using the instructions above on Amazon Linux 2023, but got stuck here… any ideas?

…
checking for gawk… gawk
checking whether to enable geos support… yes, shared
checking for geos-config… yes, shared
checking for geos-config… no
configure: error: Cannot find geos_c.h. Please specify correct GEOS installation path

Looks like the path is inherited from some place that I can’t find.

lmcmullen · July 11, 2024, 5:53pm

As an aside, geos_c.h is installed here:

[root@ip-10-0-0-28 include]# pwd
/usr/local/geos/include
[root@ip-10-0-0-28 include]# ls -lrt
total 204

@lmcmullen Have you tried searching outside of the farmOS forum for solutions to this? This is not a farmOS issue specifically so you might have more luck elsewhere, but please do share the solution here if you find one!

This has a few suggestions:

lmcmullen · July 15, 2024, 2:36pm

My gut tells me this is related to there not being a libgeos-dev package for Amazon Linux 2023. I just don’t think dependent libs are installed or available for the version of linux I’m running. As an aside, I spent most of the weekend installing FarmOS on different versions of Linux. I’ll keep plugging away and will publish my findings after.

mstenta · July 15, 2024, 2:48pm

If it helps at all, the official Docker images are based on Debian. You can see the exact commands used to install GEOS PHP here:

github.com

farmOS/farmOS/blob/86d04fd83dc1cda765093d63f7ff059ef8176779/docker/Dockerfile#L4


      
          # Use the official Drupal 10 image to build GEOS PHP extension.
          FROM drupal:10.2 as php-dependencies
          
          # Build and install the GEOS PHP extension.
          # See https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/geos/php-geos
          ARG PHP_GEOS_VERSION=e77d5a16abbf89a59d947d1fe49381a944762c9d
          ADD https://github.com/libgeos/php-geos/archive/${PHP_GEOS_VERSION}.tar.gz /opt/php-geos.tar.gz
          RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libgeos-dev \
            && ( tar xzf /opt/php-geos.tar.gz -C /opt/ \
              && cd /opt/php-geos-${PHP_GEOS_VERSION} \
              && ./autogen.sh \
              && ./configure \
              && make \
              && make install \

And it gets enabled here (although this technique is specific to the Docker image):

github.com

farmOS/farmOS/blob/86d04fd83dc1cda765093d63f7ff059ef8176779/docker/Dockerfile#L32


      
          
          # Set the farmOS and composer project repository URLs and versions.
          ARG FARMOS_REPO=https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS.git
          ARG FARMOS_VERSION=3.x
          ARG PROJECT_REPO=https://github.com/farmOS/composer-project.git
          ARG PROJECT_VERSION=3.x
          
          # Set Apache ServerName directive globally to suppress AH00558 message.
          RUN echo "ServerName localhost" >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
          
          # Install and enable geos.
          COPY --from=php-dependencies /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/ /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/
          RUN docker-php-ext-enable geos bcmath
          
          # Add custom PHP configurations.
          COPY conf.d/ /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d
          
          # Install apt dependencies.
          RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
              # Install git and unzip (needed by Composer).
              git unzip \
