Doctrine 2 need Symfony?

I am trying to make Doctrine 2 work. But on the documentation page about the CLI tool, it's including something in Symfony...

$helperSet = new \Symfony\Component\Console\Helper\HelperSet(array(
    'db' => new \Doctrine\DBAL\Tools\Console\Helper\ConnectionHelper($em->getConnection()),
    'em' => new \Doctrine\ORM\Tools\Console\Helper\EntityManagerHelper($em)
));

What * * is that ? Why do you need Symfony to make Doctrine work ?

It seems completely odd to me, but I can't make my mind to download Symfony just for the missing class... Can you help me ?

If you download the latest Doctrine tar.gz file, the Symfony Console comes prepackaged with it. No need to do a separate download. You'll find a folder named Symfony in the Doctrine folder. It has the Console and Yaml components.

The doctrine console stuff uses some Symfony Components (which are standalone libraries, packaged separately from the full framework).

So it's nothing strange -- the doctrine team just avoided reinventing a perfectly good wheel.

Installing the DoctrineSymfonyConsole will probably fix it:

pear install doctrine/DoctrineSymfonyConsole

If you installed Doctrine from pear, you probably had errors that were handled gracefully. try installing all dependencies:

pear install -af doctrine/DoctrineORM

Make sure there are no problems. If there are missing packages, it should warn you and you'll want to install those. I've had issues in the past where -a (all dependencies) didn't error if there was a problem installing a dependency, and the install halted even though it reported success.
