Research direction

Start with the Homebrew Formula/php@8.1.rb configure and make invocation, then review the linked Homebrew patch and PHP pull request for the intended build change. Reproduce the PHP 8.1.16 build on macOS 13.2.1 arm64 with LDAP and tidy enabled; done means the build completes without the reported undefined symbols.

Description

The following code:

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/4e4535e1612ecb88c24103bdefa11fa620162327/Formula/php@8.1.rb

    system "./configure", *args
    system "make"
    system "make", "install"

But I expected this output instead:

I expected the build to succeed.


Homebrew currently carries a patch for this, which was submitted in https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/3472, but denied since PHP 7.4 used pkg config.
