How to enable php-gmp on Mac OS X 10.6.6? (no macports)

Question

I want to enable my php-gmp and I don't want to use macports because I use homebrew.

First I

brew install gmp

and I got gmp 5.0.1

Then I downloaded the PHP source 5.3.6, then I go to

source/ext/gmp

I did

phpize

and then

MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6 CFLAGS='-O3 -fno-common -arch i386 -arch x86_64' LDFLAGS='-O3 -arch i386 -arch x86_64' CXXFLAGS='-O3 -fno-common -arch i386 -arch x86_64' ./configure --with-php-config=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/usr/bin/php-config; make -j6;sudo make install

And it gave me this message:

checking for GNU MP support... yes, shared checking for __gmp_randinit_lc_2exp_size in -lgmp... no checking for gmp_randinit_lc_2exp_size in -lgmp... no configure: error: GNU MP Library version 4.1.2 or greater required. make: * No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

Any idea how to enable php-gmp without macports on Mac OSX 10.6.6? Thx

Answer 1

If you have the homebrew-php tap installed, you can now do:

$ brew install php55 --with-gmp

Answer 2

Php-gmp is incompatible with GMP 5.0.1. This is a known bug, reported on bugs.php.net over a year ago. Check the comments on the bug to see if there's a workaround that works for you. If not, and if homebrew doesn't have a GMP 4.x package you can install instead, I think you're stuck building a copy of GMP 4.x manually. :-(
