PHP7.4.0 RC1 - unrecognized options running ./configure

I recently compiled php 7.4.0 RC1 on my mac, however running ./configure (with some parameters) I get the following warning:

configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-libxml, --with-pcre-regex, --with-gd, --enable-opcache-file, --with-pdo, --enable-wddx

I understand what the warning itself means, but what those parameter got replaced with or why they are not working?

Solution

  • Run configure --help to see what options are available. It appears these have been removed or renamed.

    • --enable-libxml should be --with-libxml, which is the default anyway, and doesn't need to be specified.
    • --with-pdo should be --enable-pdo.
    • --with-gd should be --enable-gd.
    • --with-pcre-regex has been removed. It is always enabled (and has always been).
    • --enable-opcache-file has been removed. It is always enabled if opcache is enabled.
    • WDDX was removed for 7.4.0.
