Bug #79313 [Opn->Fbk]: --with-curl switch behaviour change in PHP 7.4

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79313&edit=1 ID: 79313 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: fred5 at originsystems dot co dot za Summary: --with-curl switch behaviour change in PHP 7.4 -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: Compile Failure Operating System: RHEL 7 PHP Version: 7.4.3 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: First, find the location of libcurl.pc; then set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the directory of that file. E.g. if curl is installed in opt/curl/, libcurl.pc is likely in opt/curl/lib/pkgconfig/, so do PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/curl/lib/pkgconfig/ ./configure … Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-02-27 15:52:17] fred5 at originsystems dot co dot za updating the title to hopefully be more meaningful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-02-27 15:48:02] fred5 at originsystems dot co dot za Description: ------------ Up to 7.3.15 supports this PHP compile switch: --with-curl=shared,${BUILD_TARGET_CURL} where ${BUILD_TARGET_CURL} = the folder into which our latest curl compile is located (currently 7.68.0) However 7.4 produces this error: checking for cURL support... yes checking for libcurl >= 7.15.5... no configure: error: Package requirements (libcurl >= 7.15.5) were not met: No package 'libcurl' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables CURL_CFLAGS and CURL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. I'm not sure what is going on but I can't seem to get PKG_CONFIG_PATH / CURL_CFLAGS / CURL_LIBS to have any effect, no matter what I set them to. thanks Test script: --------------- n/a ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79313&edit=1
