Hi all, When building shared extensions for PHP for the purpose of packaging and distributing the builds, the build environment obviously needs PHP installed in the destination directory structure (for headers, phpize, and so forth).
But the resulting archive of the built extension should only contain the shared object, and possibly the headers. A common pattern to do achieve is: 1) download/extract PHP to $installdir 2) download/extract extension to $builddir 3) phpize in $builddir 4) make in $builddir 5) rm -rf $installdir 6) make install 7) package up $installdir Step 6 installs the extension into $installdir - you end up with /foo/bar/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20210902/something.so That doesn't work with PHP 8.1 anymore - the Makefile generated by phpize now contains an include directive at the top level (near the bottom), e.g.: -include src/php_raphf_api.dep Which lists not only the extension's headers, but also all of PHP's (in include/main, include/Zend, and so forth): src/php_raphf_api.lo: /tmp/bob-2eBC7e/raphf-2.0.1/src/php_raphf_api.c \ config.h /app/.heroku/php/include/php/main/php.h \ /app/.heroku/php/include/php/main/php_version.h \ /app/.heroku/php/include/php/Zend/zend_stream.h \ /app/.heroku/php/include/php/main/streams/php_stream_context.h \ … (many more from main/ and Zend/ here) /app/.heroku/php/include/php/ext/standard/info.h php_raphf.h \ php_raphf_api.h php_raphf.h This results in the 'make install' failing if, like in our step 5 above, PHP itself has been (re-)moved since the 'make' (output that follows is from a 'make -d install'): Considering target file 'src/php_raphf_api.lo'. … Considering target file '/app/.heroku/php/include/php/main/php.h'.

Building extensions for 8.0 or lower doesn't generate such a `src/php_EXTNAME_api.dep` file. Is this intentional? If so, could someone explain the purpose of the change? I couldn't find anything insightful when browsing the Git logs. The workaround is to make INSTALL_ROOT=$SOMETEMPDIR install and then move things into place for packaging, but I was still wondering why this change was made in the first place.
