Fails to pecl install or build manually on M1 Mac running macOS Ventura

[donatj]

I don't know for certain if this is a problem to post here or as part of the homebrew for Gearman itself, my knowledge of C isn't good enough to tell me what the actual problem is, I'm just handy enough to be dangerous - but I have been fighting with getting the Gearman extension working on my M1 Mac for weeks.

It seems that no matter what I try it boils down to configure: error: Please install libgearman

I thought maybe it's something with my local machine, so I spun up a clean macOS on a UTM VM and tried it - log.txt here's the log of that. Same issue.

That log, above, on a clean install of macOS boils down to

I've done a bunch of "debugging" with ChatGPT, as helpful as that might be - gearman.pc seems to be missing?

I tried just manually creating a

/opt/homebrew/opt/gearman/lib/pkgconfig/gearman.pc (the /opt/homebrew/opt/gearman/lib/pkgconfig directory already exists but only has a gearmand.pc)

My understanding is that libgearman should be installed with brew install gearman?

I don't know what the problem is - but it's broken on a clean install of macOS so I suspect I'm not (fully) the issue here?

Hi, @donatj. I know it's been 2 weeks since you opened this issue, so I'm guessing you either already found a solution or have moved on. I just happened to have added a GitHub Actions CI workflow that compiles and tests the PHP Gearman extension on the latest macOS, and it works, as you can see here:

https://github.com/esabol/pecl-networking-gearman/actions/runs/11269845628/job/31339294167

Looking at your log.txt, you (well, pecl) ran

/private/tmp/pear/temp/gearman/configure --with-php-config=/opt/homebrew/opt/php@8.1/bin/php-config

I suspect you need to run

/private/tmp/pear/temp/gearman/configure --with-php-config=/opt/homebrew/opt/php@8.1/bin/php-config --with-gearman=$(brew --prefix gearman)

I think you're probably going to have to configure and compile it manually instead of using pecl. I hope this helps!

[donatj]

@esabol Hah, so, actually no, I have not moved on. It's been a complete and total blocker for me trying to do some maintenance work on an old project.

Your suggested ./configure incantation did in fact compile successfully for me, and after a little fiddling appears to be working. Thank you so much!

For the future, is this something that can be fixed on the … pecl side? I've no idea who I need to poke to make this not a problem 😆

@dontj asked:

Well, I would try changing this line:

https://github.com/php/pecl-networking-gearman/blob/a52052cdd712a95091ce926be3bcdca41c730696/config.m4#L16

to

for i in $PHP_GEARMAN /usr/local /usr /opt/local /opt/homebrew/opt/gearman; do

Can you make that change to the gearman configure file locally and test that, @donatj ?

Ideally, it should run $(brew --prefix gearman) instead of hardcoding /opt/homebrew/opt/gearman, but I'm not sure if one can do that in a configure script.
