phpenv: All latest versions fail to build/install on OSX 10.14 Mojave

macOS 10.15 Catalina

$ brew install autoconf bison bzip2 curl icu4c libedit libjpeg libiconv libpng libxml2 libzip openssl re2c tidy-html5 zlib

$ PATH="$(brew --prefix icu4c)/bin:$(brew --prefix icu4c)/sbin:$(brew --prefix libiconv)/bin:$(brew --prefix curl)/bin:$(brew --prefix libxml2)/bin:$(brew --prefix bzip2)/bin:$(brew --prefix bison)/bin:$PATH" \

phpenv install 7.3.9

$ php -v

Ok for the time being I managed to get 7.2.10 to build and install with the following command line:

$ CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-zlib-dir=$(brew --prefix zlib) --with-bz2=$(brew --prefix bzip2) --with-iconv=$(brew --prefix libiconv) --with-readline=$(brew --prefix readline) --with-libedit=$(brew --prefix libedit) --with-tidy=$(brew --prefix tidy-html5)" phpenv install 7.2.10

and installing any missing package via homebrew.

It goes on the right track but then it hits the next hurdle:

It really looks like the latest OSX version messed up path management and such. Also I checked your fix and I suppose it should be more specific and target OSX 10.13 and above. Your fork always worked find up until the previous version.

Thanks @naviapis that worked a treat

why not mention this configure options on documentations

@debo phpenv install 8.2.8 gave me configure: error: Please reinstall the BZip2 distribution. Installing over the local MacOS version with Homebrew and replacing it in PATH had no effect. I also tried naviapis’s solution and it also didn’t work, but I don’t remember if it was still the BZip2 error.

I see this issue over in php-build: https://github.com/php-build/php-build/issues/543, with no movement since 2019 😞 is that where I should be looking?

I can confirm that on my personal laptop with the latest Xcode everything works fine again.
