I have pcre2 10.33 installed in /usr/local. I previously specified --with-pcre-regex=/usr/local. Since this option is removed in php 7.4 I changed it to --with-external-pcre=/usr/local and the configure is now failing. I receive the following messages checking for libpcre2-8 >= 10.30... no configure: error: Package requirements (libpcre2-8 >= 10.30) were not met: No package 'libpcre2-8' found Expected result: ---------------- I have pcre2 installed in /usr/local. php 7.3. configure used it with --with-pcre-regex=/usr/local however --with-external-pcre2=/usr/local in php 7.4 does not work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=79479&edit=1
