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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
