Hi, I am compiling MariaDB 10.2.6 and PHP 7.1.6 I'm trying it on Debian 8.8 32x and x64 on DigitalOcean See the script: https://gist.github.com/dertin/8de14e458dd4f0d3acb5f0deff120951 <https://gist.github.com/dertin/8de14e458dd4f0d3acb5f0deff120951> But I have problems compiling PHP with MariaDB / MySQLi.
