Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74723&edit=1 ID: 74723 Comment by: kevin at kstich dot com Reported by: smorozov at sugarcrm dot com Summary: Cannot install --with-pear Status: Open Type: Bug Package: *Compile Issues Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 17.10 PHP Version: 7.2.0alpha1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This issue persists in to 7.2a2 as noted here: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74801 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-06-11 20:39:19] rainer dot jung at kippdata dot de Upstream has released Archive_Tar version 1.4.3 that includes the fix today, see https://pear.php.net/package/Archive_Tar It would be nice if you could update the dependency in PHP 7.2/master. One additional hange is needed: in the top level Makefile I had to add "-dextension_dir=$(top_builddir)/modules -dextension=xml.so" to PEAR_INSTALL_FLAGS. I build xml.so as a shared extension. Without this I get the error "[PEAR] xml extension is required". Thanks and regards! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-06-11 16:53:06] rainer dot jung at kippdata dot de By increasing the log level, one can see, that executing the file pear/install-pear-nozlib.phar gives an error. There is a new check in zend_compile.c for PHP 7.2 which results in the message "Cannot use result of built-in function in write context". That checked is triggered by line 662 in file Archive/tar.php contained in pear/install-pear-nozlib.phar: ... 661 // ----- Get the arguments 662 $v_att_list = & func_get_args(); ... This can be fixed by removing the "&" character ... 661 // ----- Get the arguments 662 $v_att_list = func_get_args(); ... See also the pull request https://github.com/pear/Archive_Tar/pull/18 for Archive/Tar. Please try to contact the Archive/Tar maintainer to update Archive/Tar and roll a new version to make it compatible with this new check in PHP 7.2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-06-09 11:29:38] dragonbe+php at gmail dot com Same issue when compiling with default "./configure" settings My setup: --------- Building a vagrant box for PHP testing vagrant init debian/jessie64 vagrant box update vagrant up --provider virtualbox Enter the vagrant box vagrant ssh Some tools to be installed on the vagrant box using "apt" sudo apt-get install \ automake \ autoconf \ libtool \ re2c \ flex \ bison \ libxml2-dev \ make \ curl Grap the public keys for PHP 7.2 from https://secure.php.net/gpg-keys.php gpg --search-keys pollita@php.net gpg --search-keys remi@php.net Download the PHP alpha sources + signatures curl -L -O https://downloads.php.net/~pollita/php-7.2.0alpha1.tar.bz2 curl -L -O https://downloads.php.net/~pollita/php-7.2.0alpha1.tar.bz2.asc Verify the package gpg --verify php-7.2.0alpha1.tar.bz2.asc php-7.2.0alpha1.tar.bz2 You should see something like the following gpg: Signature made Tue 06 Jun 2017 01:54:01 PM GMT using RSA key ID 70D12172 gpg: Good signature from "Sara Golemon <pollita@php.net>" gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
