[MapServer-users] Swig Mapscript Still Fails to Build with PHP 8

[Seth G]

Hi,

The CI setup for MapServer doesn't test Homebrew/Mac, so that could be one possible issue.

MapServer 8 and PHP 8 however is tested on Linux - see https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/blob/main/.travis.yml and the most recent log for PHP 8 - https://app.travis-ci.com/github/MapServer/MapServer/jobs/583600218
Lots of the install logic run on Travis is contained in https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/blob/main/ci/travis/before_install.sh
Check for differences with your own logs to see what might be causing the errors.
Good luck!

Seth

However, I fail to see a post mentioning the steps of what I need to change in the build process. My process is as follows: I install Homebrew and then install the dependencies -- httpd php at 8.0 cmake pkg-config swig fcgi gd gdal geos giflib postgresql proj protobuf-c proj at 7. After this I clone MapServer from Github and checkout rel-8-0-0. Next, I run cmake with the following options:
