I've installed Propel using PEAR on Windows... now where is propel-gen?

Question

I've installed PEAR onto my Windows 7 PC using PEAR, as per:

http://www.propelorm.org/documentation/01-installation.html

Now, where can I find propel-gen so I can add it to my PATH?

Here's the files that have been installed, in the PEAR directory:

![Screen shot of C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\PEAR\Propel]1

Versions:

Phing 2.4.9 PHP 5.2.17 Xdebug 2.1.2

Has something gone wrong?

Answer 1

You should add:

C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\PEAR\Propel\generator\bin

to your PATH, then you'll be able to execute propel-gen.bat (because you're on Windows).

Answer 2

I found out that Propel requires the PHP XSL module; there didn't seem to be any indication of this when I tried to install it via PEAR.

After I reinstalled PHP with XSL, I tried to install Propel again via PEAR. This time it worked fine, and propel-gen.bat was added to my PHP directory (which is in my path settings).

Propel is, in a word, awesome - I'm glad I managed to get it to install. I think this framework will save me absolutely loads of time, and help me produce higher quality code.
