FreeBSD

No.

Since FreeBSD lacks CI support on GitHub and it is troublesome to test on my own computer, I will temporarily put the update of FreeBSD on hold.

If someone can provide FreeBSD CI or answer questions related to FreeBSD compilation, I will be very grateful and restart the official maintenance of FreeBSD.

Aren't those extensions already covered?

• imap,
• ldap

No. imap and ldap are internal extensions, and they will be supported in the future (I'm debugging them on my local branch). Now I need to figure out some old library compilation, e.g. wu-imap (c-client). It would be great if someone knows about them and would like to help.

For imap, I'm reading Homebrew and Alpine BUILD related code:

• https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/e7b36de55df0ffeb3bc8a9f7996906a4dd0cc5b8/Formula/imap-uw.rb
• https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/tree/main/imap/APKBUILD

I think the old links that are mentioned in git.alpinelinux.org are dead, but the sources can be found at https://github.com/uw-imap/imap. Edit: never mind, the source link is still up.

I'll try to get the php-imap compilation working on a VM, but this looks like a dead extension going forward. Highly unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be a reliable alternative.

Ldap (and sysvsem, is it planned?) integration appears fairly straightforward, though.

[crazywhalecc]

@DubbleClick sysvsem is supported now, but it seems I forgot add it in documentation. I'll add it later.

ldap is planned but I haven't started yet.

I was able to compile php with ldap just following the documentation. Imap is a whole other story, had no luck with it on rhel 9.2. I hope I'll find the time to create a PR for ldap next week.

It would be great if you could improve new extensions!

And I noticed that you are using RHEL, I'm not familiar with it. It might be more helpful if someone could first improve the doctor check items for RHEL and CentOS environments.

[henderkes]

Yeah I've noticed that there was no musl auto-fix for rhel available. I wasn't able to find a rpm for it and therefore had to manually build it and add the directory to ld_flags.

Will do again with a fresh VM and document the necessary commands. I should find time next week.
