Hey everyone, thanks for your patience with this!
I wish I had a solution for you right now, but I’ve been cracking at this for a bit now and haven’t been able to get the intl extension to build for MacOS. From what I can tell, it seems like intl is no longer compiled as a separate extension, and instead, needs to be compiled when building php itself.
I’m working with the Local team to get this extension compiled when building PHP itself, but I don’t have an exact time for when this will be ready.
If anyone is curious about the general workflow for what was tried, here we go:
-
Right-click on the site you wish to install the extension for and “Open Site Shell.”
-
Download and untar extension from
PECL- https://pecl.php.net/package/intl -
Change to the extension directory
cd ~/Downloads/intl-3.0.0/intl-3.0.0 -
Update
prefixinphpizeandphp-configto point to the php that is bundled with Local. This path would look something like:/Applications/Local.app/Contents/Resources/extraResources/lightning-services/php-7.3.5+10/bin/darwin/ -
Run
phpize -
Run
./configure- Check for missing dependencies.
- This seemed to be fixed with
brew install intltool icu4c gettext - Then adding
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/icu4c/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrcthis to the shell environment
-
Run
make, which results in errors similar to: PHP :: Bug #72879 :: Pecl install intl make error with PHP 7.0.8
From here, I went to see what others in the space are doing, and at least with Homebrew’s php@7.4 formula, they are compiling php with a specific extension:
