Phing - Installing and using with MAMP


I have successfully installed Phing but have a few questions. Right now, in order to use it I have to open up the Terminal and change directory to my /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.7/bin and then have to do:

./phing -f /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Build-System/build/build.xml 

I have a feeling I am doing something wrong cause that's pretty long and all tutorials I read just do Phing -f build.xml and all of these short commands.

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? Not sure if you need more information but I installed it using this tutorial. Do I have to change directories every time to my MAMP php bin and then use a full path to the build.xml file?

Thanks!


Solution

  • You usually run the command just by using phing from the directory where you have your build.xml located. That requires you to have the phing executable in your system path. I haven't tried this in MAMP but if you know how to set your system PATH then this should be quite easy to fix.
