PHP 7.4/8 Update

zoonim116

Hey guys, PHP 7.4 and 8 already released but in repo still 7.3.

JoshStrobl

Yea, it's in need of a dedicated new maintainer.

kaktuspalme

If no one else is interested in it, I'll have a look into it. I personally run my php projects inside a docker container, but I still need it locally sometimes.

zoonim116

kaktuspalme It will be great if you will have ability to make some documentation how to build. Thank you a lot.

JoshStrobl

kaktuspalme That's be amazing. My requirements for testing are pretty minimal:

Don't break arcanist
Test phoronix-test-suite
Sometimes I need to use composer when dealing with Flarum stuff locally so if that could not get broken, that'd be great.

Pretty simple needs IMO 😃

kaktuspalme

Oh, I didn't knew arcanist depends on php. Thanks for the hint.

jrobinson52

I'd also be interested in an upgrade to php. Is there any documentation on how to contribute packages to the repository?

algent

jrobinson52 Yes. https://getsol.us/articles/packaging/

kaktuspalme

jrobinson52 I already have locally a working php 7.4 package. But if you want to do it I would send you my package.yml if you are interested.
For the moment I have some "questions" regarding some configure options in the php build process which I want to solve before I send the package for review.

jrobinson52

kaktuspalme what questions do you have? I'll try to help if I can

zoonim116

kaktuspalme did you use this manual for building PHP?

kaktuspalme

jrobinson52 If you look at the package.yml of the actual php 5.7 package you see for example "--with-iconv=shared" What does shared mean? Does it do anything?
If I look here for example https://www.php.net/manual/en/iconv.installation.php there's no shared option explained.

@zoonim116 Thanks for the link. Unfortunately it tells only how to build it but not what options you have when building it.

Edit: Ok, looking at the generated package I probably got it. =shared creates a seperate .so file for the php extension. Without it is compiled into the PHP binary it seems.

@kaktuspalme

Hey, maybe you can help me? I'm trying to build php8 my own. I have just downloaded php8 sources and trying to configure before build using this params
./configure --build=x86_64-solus-linux --libdir=/usr/lib64 --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libexecdir=/usr/lib64/php --prefix=/usr --disable-static --with-config-file-path=/etc/php/ --bindir=/usr/bin/ --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar=shared --enable-exif=shared --enable-fpm --enable-ftp=shared --enable-intl=shared --enable-libxml=shared --enable-mbstring --enable-opcache --enable-pcntl --enable-phar --enable-posix=shared --enable-shmop=shared --enable-soap=shared --enable-sockets=shared --enable-zend-signals --enable-zip=shared --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc/php --with-bz2=shared --with-config-file-path=/etc/php --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php/conf.d --with-curl=shared --with-enchant=shared --with-fpm-user=phpfpm --with-fpm-group=phpfpm --with-fpm-systemd --with-freetype-dir=/usr --with-gd=shared --with-gettext=shared --with-gmp=shared --with-iconv=shared --with-icu-dir=/usr --with-imap=shared --with-imap-ssl --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-libdir=lib64 --with-libzip --with-mhash --with-mysqli=shared,mysqlnd --with-openssl --with-openssl-dir=/usr/bin --with-password-argon2 --with-pcre-regex=/usr --with-pdo-mysql=shared,mysqlnd --with-pdo-pgsql=shared --with-pdo-sqlite=shared,/usr --with-pgsql=shared --with-png-dir=/usr --with-readline --with-snmp=shared --with-sqlite3=shared,/usr --with-tidy=shared --with-webp-dir=/usr --with-xsl=/usr --with-zlib build_alias=x86_64-solus-linux LT_SYS_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64

but I have an error No package 'oniguruma' found. How did you install it?

zoonim116 but I have an error No package 'oniguruma' found. How did you install it?

You have to compile it first, because it is not yet available in the repository. It is still in review process https://dev.getsol.us/D10167.

zoonim116

algent I have just compiled but still have same error.

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the '-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:

add LIBDIR to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
add LIBDIR to the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
use the '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for

more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

You are using the solus build system? Then you have to do sudo make local . I'll probably finish my packages later today if you can wait.

zoonim116

kaktuspalme
make: *** No rule to make target 'local'. Stop.

zoonim116

kaktuspalme 'll probably finish my packages later today if you can wait.

Yes, sure thank you. But it will be good if you can explain how to proceed?

kaktuspalme

zoonim116 Please read here on how to make your local packaging environment: https://getsol.us/articles/packaging/

Edit: It will probably be 7.4 and not 8.0 but I'll see.

Edit2: Sorry folks, the task will take a bit longer. I have errors with arcanist now which I need to sort out first.
