Installation

Install phpenv

git clone git@github.com:phpenv/phpenv.git ~/.phpenv

Then follow the instruction from phpenv repo.

Install php-build

git clone git@github.com:php-build/php-build.git ~/.phpenv/plugins/php-build

Install config-add plugin

git clone git@github.com:sergeyklay/phpenv-config-add.git ~/.phpenv/plugins/phpenv-config-add

Install pear-setup plugin

git clone git@github.com:sergeyklay/phpenv-pear-setup.git ~/.phpenv/plugins/phpenv-pear-setup

Usage

export PHP_BUILD_ZTS_ENABLE=on
export PHP_BUILD_XDEBUG_ENABLE=off
export PHP_BUILD_EXTRA_MAKE_ARGUMENTS=-j"$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)"
export PHP_BUILD_TMPDIR=~/src/php
mkdir -p $PHP_BUILD_TMPDIR

php-build --ini development 7.4.0 $(phpenv root)/versions/7.4.0-zts-debug/

Example of script to print install instructions for multiple PHP versions:

for v in 7.0.33 7.1.30 7.2.20 7.3.7 7.4.0; do
  for z in on off; do
    for d in --enable-debug --disable-debug; do
      [ "$z" = "on" ]             && zts=zts   || zts=nts
      [ "$d" = "--enable-debug" ] && dbg=debug || dbg=release
      echo \
        PHP_BUILD_ZTS_ENABLE=$z \
        PHP_BUILD_XDEBUG_ENABLE=off \
        PHP_BUILD_EXTRA_MAKE_ARGUMENTS=-j"$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)" \
        PHP_BUILD_CONFIGURE_OPTS="\"--disable-fpm --disable-phpdbg $d\"" \
        php-build --ini development $v $(phpenv root)/versions/$v-$zts-$dbg/
    done
  done
done

This will print lines like this:

PHP_BUILD_ZTS_ENABLE=on \
    PHP_BUILD_XDEBUG_ENABLE=off \
    PHP_BUILD_EXTRA_MAKE_ARGUMENTS=-j20 \
    PHP_BUILD_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--disable-fpm --disable-phpdbg --enable-debug" \
    php-build --ini development 7.4.0 /home/USER/.phpenv/versions/7.4.0-zts-debug/

Feel free to disable any extension using PHP_BUILD_CONFIGURE_OPTS variable. For examle to disabe gd:

- PHP_BUILD_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--disable-fpm --disable-phpdbg --enable-debug"
+ PHP_BUILD_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--disable-fpm --disable-phpdbg --disable-gd --enable-debug"

Notes for macOS

macOS users will need to create a symlink for openssl and customize PHP_BUILD_CONFIGURE_OPTS. For example:

Creating symlinks:

cd /usr/local/include
ln -s ../opt/openssl/include/openssl .

Customizing PHP_BUILD_CONFIGURE_OPTS:

export PHP_BUILD_CONFIGURE_OPTS="\
  --disable-fpm \
  --disable-phpdbg \
  --enable-debug \
  --with-bz2=$(brew --prefix bzip2) \
  --with-curl=$(brew --prefix curl) \
  --with-gettext=$(brew --prefix gettext) \
  --with-gmp=$(brew --prefix gmp) \
  --with-iconv=$(brew --prefix libiconv) \
  --with-icu-dir=$(brew --prefix icu4c) \
  --with-jpeg-dir=$(brew --prefix jpeg) \
  --with-libedit=$(brew --prefix libedit) \
  --with-libxml-dir=$(brew --prefix libxml2) \
  --with-libzip=$(brew --prefix libzip)
  --with-mcrypt=$(brew --prefix libmcrypt) \
  --with-png-dir=$(brew --prefix libpng) \
  --with-readline=$(brew --prefix readline) \
  --with-tidy=$(brew --prefix tidy-html5) \
  --with-xsl=$(brew --prefix libxslt) \
  --with-zlib=$(brew --prefix zlib)" \
  --with-kerberos

For PHP 7.0.* you'll need buffio.h:

ln -s  $(brew --prefix tidy-html5)/include/tidybuffio.h $(brew --prefix tidy-html5)/include/buffio.h

For PHP >= 7.4 you'll need to specify library path for the folowing packages:

• openssl
• icu4c
• libxml2

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=""
for pkg in openssl icu4c libxml2; do
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}:$(brew --prefix $pkg)/lib/pkgconfig"
done
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}"

export KERBEROS_LIBS="-lkrb5"
export KERBEROS_CFLAGS=" "
export EDIT_LIBS="-ledit"
export EDIT_CFLAGS=" "
