Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78398&edit=1 ID: 78398 Comment by: phpbugreports at gmail dot com Reported by: tz at FreeBSD dot org Summary: libxml does not compile after setting --disable-all Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Compile Failure Operating System: FreeBSD 11.2 PHP Version: 7.4.0beta2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: "--with-libxml is the way to go! But it is sadly undocumented" is not true as you quote "--without-libxml Build without LIBXML support" and all the disable/enable and with/without are always pairs when the default is enbaled it and you have a switch to disable it but you start with "disable everything" the logical turnaround is to enable otherwise by default enabled things explicit that's how configure works in general and is not php specific Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-10 21:48:18] tz at FreeBSD dot org Aloha, --with-libxml is the way to go! But it is sadly undocumented: [/usr/ports/lang/php74/work/php-7.4.0beta2]$ ./configure --help | grep xml --without-libxml Build without LIBXML support --disable-simplexml Disable SimpleXML support --disable-xml Disable XML support --with-expat XML: use expat instead of libxml2 --disable-xmlreader Disable XMLReader support --with-xmlrpc[=DIR] Include XMLRPC-EPI support --with-expat XMLRPC-EPI: use expat instead of libxml2 --disable-xmlwriter Disable XMLWriter support Can you please add it to the help text of ./configure? Greetings, Torsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-10 21:32:23] phpbugreports at gmail dot com what about "./configure --help | grep xml" and just type "--with-libxml" and if needed with "--with-libxml-dir=/usr" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-10 21:23:23] cmb@php.net AFAIK, as of PHP 7.4 it's --with-libxml ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-10 20:54:37] tz at FreeBSD dot org Aloha, i'am sorry, but are you aware, that --enable=libxml just abort ./configure? There seems to be no documented switch to enable building of libxml after setting --disable-all as far as i can see. Maybe you can provide me an example how to enable build of libxml in combination with -disable-all? Thank you, Torsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-08-10 19:15:26] phpbugreports at gmail dot com when you start with --disable-all you are supposed to know what you are doing ./configure --disable-all --enable=xyz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
