Phpbrew: Can't install with iconv on Mac OSX

[rodsimpson]

Hello,

I'm trying to install php with iconv, but I get errors. My system says I have iconv installed:

$ which iconv
/usr/bin/iconv

The error seems to indicate that I should specify the path to iconv, but I can't see how I can do that with phpbrew.

Output

to build php, you need both the binary files and header files.
in your case, /usr/bin/iconv is just the binary file, and you need to install the header files (see https://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ ) / specify the path to head files.

@jhdxr emmmmm我说中文吧
同样这个问题，也是一直报reinstall iconv library
这个header文件iconv.h我这边好像能找到 但是官网说的一个libiconv.so文件我这边找不到 自己重装的iconv 是这个so文件的问题么？官网说so文件和头文件是一起安装的 但是没找到

[JulianMar]

So for short just run brew install libiconv
and +iconv=/usr/local/opt/libiconv

For those people who install iconv via phpbrew ext install:

phpbrew ext install iconv -- --with-iconv=/usr/local/opt/libiconv
