Hi BG,
Thanks for starting this discussion here, as many other readers will
help & learn from your situation; I first want to wish you a warm
welcome from the MapServer community :)
As Seth mentioned, I spent a lot of effort setting up the automated PHP
8 + MapServer 8 builds "on the cloud", and some of those steps can be
used by you directly.
But to step back a bit, first thing to mention is that PHP 8 with
MapServer 8 is best handled through the SWIG library "master" branch,
and this is likely one of your issues (the Homebrew formula you are
using for SWIG is probably SWIG 4.0.x, and you need the upcoming 4.1.0
release, or build its master branch from source).
Regarding the SWIG 4.1.0 upcoming release (and its heavy demand), see my
call for help at
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapserver-dev/2022-September/016881.html
Regarding you possibly compiling SWIG 'master' branch, you can follow my
exact steps to do this on these lines:
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/blob/main/ci/travis/before_install.sh#L38-L47
(maybe other Mac devs can update those steps here in this discussion
thread for you)
I personally think all this will take some time before all packagers
catch up to these changes, to make it smooth for their users. In this
case some time is required before the next SWIG can be released, and
then propagated to all those FOSS4G packages that we love.
Its for this exact reason that I have put almost my entire career into
MS4W, to prevent users from facing these same build challenges (and
there are many challenges, ha).
I'm not sure that I've helped with this response, other than giving you
some background info.
Don't be discouraged, you will indeed fall in love with MapServer :)
Thanks,
-jeff

Good morning,
I have been trying to build the MapServer 8.0 release using PHP 8. I am
a new user having only been working with MapServer for just a couple of
months, please forgive me I don't ask questions in the appropriate way.
I have seen posts on the Github referring to the new release as
supporting PHP 8 as mentioned here:
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/6430
<https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/pull/6430>**and here:
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/issues/6632
<https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/issues/6632>. 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 [email protected] cmake pkg-config swig fcgi gd gdal
geos giflib postgresql proj protobuf-c proj@7. After this I clone
MapServer from Github and checkout rel-8-0-0. Next, I run cmake with the
following options:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -DCMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK=LAST
-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON -Wno-dev -DWITH_CLIENT_WFS=ON
-DWITH_CLIENT_WMS=ON -DWITH_CURL=ON -DWITH_FCGI=ON -DWITH_FRIBIDI=OFF
-DWITH_GDAL=ON -DWITH_GEOS=ON -DWITH_HARFBUZZ=OFF -DWITH_KML=ON
-DWITH_OGR=ON -DWITH_POSTGIS=ON -DWITH_PROJ=ON -DWITH_PYTHON=OFF
-DWITH_SOS=ON -DWITH_WFS=ON -WITH_CAIRO=ON -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON
-DWITH_PHPNG=ON -DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql"
And then make. However, make fails with errors referring to bindings
needing PHP 7. The error log is listed below:
https://pastebin.com/99xWFcpE <https://pastebin.com/99xWFcpE>
Clearly, I must be missing something or doing something wrong during the
build process since others have stated that version 8.0.0 works with PHP
8. Could anyone be so kind to point out my error so that I could get
this to work? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you so much.
