 Hello,

 For the PhP7 I installed the bindings using the steps on this page:
 https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/FAQ/PHP%20Bindings%20Package
 All went fine but the the last, debugging, line showed me an error:

 "sed: kan debian/*.substvars niet lezen: Bestand of map bestaat niet
 debian/rules:351: recept voor doel 'override_dh_gencontrol' is mislukt
 make[1]: *** [override_dh_gencontrol] Fout 2
 make[1]: Map '/root/xapian-bindings-1.4.3' wordt verlaten
 debian/rules:153: recept voor doel 'binary' is mislukt
 make: *** [binary] Fout 2
 dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit
 status 2
 debuild: fatal error at line 1116:
 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc failed"

 As I am not that well in coding I understand that the file
 debian/*.substvars doesn't exist.
 How to progress?

 Actually I don't really understand how to install the Xapian-core module
 installed on my Debian 9 server. I used wget and it was there. I extracted
 it, but not sure were it should be placed. Also the bindings used another
 vbersion so that confuses me. Any support is appreciated.
 Thx
