Description

When you click on the compiling instructions in top level README, you just download a php file. I also was unable to open that file with XAMPP. Please post updated instructions on compiling this library.

Research direction

Begin with the compiling instructions in the top-level README and follow the linked target to confirm why it downloads a PHP file. Update the README with working library-compilation instructions, including a path that does not require opening the downloaded file with XAMPP, then verify the links and steps from a clean checkout.
