[Kolab-devel] Kolab on Ubuntu 16.04: swig with support for PHP7

[Timotheus Pokorra]

Hello Javier,

Thank you for working on this, and reporting on the success!

I have been trying the same for Fedora 25, but I have issues with the
PHP modules, causing php to segfault.
See https://kolab.org/hub/topic/91/kolab-16-winterfell-on-ubuntu-16-04-dependencies/14
and https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/859
I will have to dig into this after the holidays.
It is good to know that it works on Arch Linux.
I wonder if my snapshot of Swig is a couple of commits too old, I will
try that first to build with a more recent snapshot.

All the best,
  Timotheus
