Created binary repository on build.opensuse.org

https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:el:archphp

Import PGP key first:

curl -s https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/el:/archphp/Arch/x86_64/home_el_archphp_Arch.key | sudo pacman-key -a /dev/stdin

Append to /etc/pacman.conf:

[home_el_archphp_Arch]
SigLevel = Required TrustAll
Server = https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/el:/archphp/Arch/x86_64/

Refresh packages database

pacman -Sy

Now search for php packages you need:

pacman -Ss php74

Install with pacman -S packages you need or all PHP 8.1 packages with:

sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Ssq | grep '^php74')

Read Carefully! Breaking changes in compare with native PHP package

1. Console version /usr/bin/php74 is installed with php74-cli subpackage, php74 doesn't include it anymore!!!

2. PEAR and PECL are available as php74-pear and php74-pecl subpackages

3. All shared modules are respresented as stand-alone subpackages and are not included with php74 package anymore.

4. No more extensions in php.ini itself! Separate INI files for each extension are placed in /etc/php74/conf.d They are loaded in correct order according to priority

5. Modules: mysqlnd, mysqli and pdo_mysql are moved to single package php74-mysql

6. php74-xsl requires php74-xml and php74-dom to be installed

7. php74-enchant build with dependencies: libvoikko, hspell, hunspell, nuspell, aspell

Thanks for the tip, i am working on it right now and will add fixed release of package asap.

Apply the following patch and it builds with gd-2.3.3:

It's a backport of the patch applied to 8.1+

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Downgrading_packages

Github link is only informationally, there is description of the reason why you cant build PHP with newer gd version.

@tompear, How I can downgrade 'gd' to 2.3.2? the gd-git.v2.3.2.r420.g826e5462-1 installed but I can't build php74-intl :( also I can't use your provided github link to downgrade the gd.

Downgrade 'gd' to 2.3.2. In 2.3.3 some macros have been removed and older versions of PHP will not build anymore.

There are details https://github.com/libgd/libgd/commit/bdc281eadb1d58d5c0c7bbc1125ee4674256df08

https://github.com/libgd/libgd/issues/318 https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/7490

Tried using gd-git, no dice.

I'm getting errors when compiling with GD right now -- anyone have any ideas?

@tompear

• you are right,this package doesn't conflicts with default php package

• php-pear http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/php-pear works with multi version php,it's has a internal switch to set which php version suffix to use

• I will install default php package to have php-pear installed and use php74 to run it instead

PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN=php74 pear config-set  php_suffix '74' system
PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN=php74 pecl -d php_suffix=74 install swoole

Why should i do that? In my opinion it doesnt provide php as is, its php 7.4. Adding this is not good or even right solution but i can be wrong.
