I am Heavy Documenting my debian-12.5.0-amd64 Installation on my Lenovo Thinkpad T420 Laptop w/ Eclipse PDT 2024-R3 from binary .tar.gz
I hope this will help others; and if I run into any problems; It would be nice if someone would chime in with constructive advise/criticism.
Part 1:
My System is as follows:
- debian 12.5.0-amd64
- i-7 @ 2.20GHZ (8 CPUs w/ output of nproc) | Lenovo Thinkpad (T420)
- 16GB RAM
- 256GB TIMETEC SSD HDD (Generic Brand on Amazon and it's very descent for being $20). Even in comparison to my More expensive 4TB Samsung EVO SSD HDD (This one feels as if it out performs without proper bench-marking to provide Evidence).
I use sddm for my Display Manager and LXQT as my Desktop Environment using "KWin" as it's backend.
I have installed the latest Eclipse PDT 2024 R3 from the Linux_86_x64 .tar.gz and extracted and moved it to /opt/eclipse-php/
(No snap install available or any .debs).
Then ran:
root@TutumCustodiaDragonR1:~# chown -R digitalninja:digitalninja /opt/eclipse-php/
Then switched to My Laptops Username "digitalninja" using:
root@TutumCustodiaDragonR1:~# su - digitalninja
digitalninja@TutumCustodiaDragonR1:~/$
Then changed directories to LXQT's Menu Editing Folder to Create a Custom Entry:
digitalninja@TutumCustodiaDragonR1:~/$ cd .local/share/applications
digitalninja@TutumCustodiaDragonR1:~/.local/share/applications$
In my LXQT Application Launcher / Menu I made the following modification to add Eclipse PDT 2024 R3 to my Menu under "Programming"
Then I created a new .desktop File using nano editor and the -c switch (Which Tells nano to open the file and display the line count (active on the one you're on & how many total). Once I learned this; it made my life a whole lot better in Linux/BSD.
digitalninja@TutumCustodiaDragonR1:~/.local/share/applications$ nano -c eclipse-php.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Eclipse PHP IDE (2024-R3)
GenericName=PHP Code Editor
Comment=PHP Code editor
Keywords=Programming;Development;IDE;Editor;Code;
Exec=/opt/eclipse-php/eclipse
Icon=/opt/eclipse-php/icon.xpm
Terminal=false
MimeType=text/html;application/atom+xml;application/x-coldfusion;text/x-clojure;text/coffeescript;application/json;text/css;text/x-diff;text/jsx;text/markdown;application/mathml+xml;application/rdf+xml;application/rss+xml;application/sql;image/svg+xml;text/x-python;applicat<lication/xml;application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml;application/x-yaml;text/javascript;application/javascript;text/mjs;application/mjs;text/cjs;inoode/directory;
Categories=Development;IDE;Utility;TextEditor;
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=eclipse
Then once you click your LXQT Menu; it auto-populates and aggregates the Icon included in the Eclipse PDT 2024 R3 x86_64.tar.gz Package and Correctly Links the Binary Executable File.
And LXQT Menu -> Programming -> Eclipse PHP IDE (2024-R3)
Next...
Regarding My Local Development Setup; I have the following installed.
Apache2 Web Server (debian 12.5.0-amd64 Bookworm Stock Version):
root@TutumCustodiaDragonR1:~# apache2 -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.57 (Debian)
Server built: 2023-04-13T03:26:51
root@TutumCustodiaDragonR1:~#
PHP 8.3.4 (With debian Repositories from https://packages.sury.org/php/) :
root@TutumCustodiaDragonR1:~# php -v
PHP Warning: Cannot load module "http" because required module "raphf" is not loaded in Unknown on line 0
PHP 8.3.4 (cli) (built: Mar 29 2024 05:24:33) (NTS)

with Xdebug v3.3.1, Copyright (c) 2002-2023, by Derick Rethans
root@TutumCustodiaDragonR1:~#
I also made sure that Xdebug 3.3.1 was installed. I am configured using PHP8.3-FPM
I noticed after proofing my Part 1 that I had an error in my php -v output.
root@TutumCustodiaDragonR1:~# php -v
PHP Warning: Cannot load module "http" because required module "raphf" is not loaded in Unknown on line 0
PHP 8.3.4 (cli) (built: Mar 29 2024 05:24:33) (NTS)

I performed the following to remedy this:
root@TutumCustodiaDragonR1:~# apt install php8.3-raphf
root@TutumCustodiaDragonR1:~# a2enmod proxy_fcgi
Now all of that is Smoothed out...
root@TutumCustodiaDragonR1:~# php -v
