Valet: built in php 7.1.7 High Sierra GM

[hsleewis]

macOS High Sierra GM ships with PHP 7.1.7, php 7.1 can't be installed through homebrew.
Is there a way to let Valet use the systems default php version?

[arthurkirkosa]

There is PHP 7.1 and 7.2 in homebrew (homebrew/php/php71, homebrew/php/php72)

@arthurkirkosa yes, and both can't be installed on macOS High Sierra :)

Weird, macOS has always shipped with a default version of PHP and has never
been an issue to install the same version via brew as it gets installed in
a totally different place. What error are you seeing?

Do not report this issue to Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/core!

And it ends with this:

Error: You are using macOS 10.13.
We do not provide support for this pre-release version.
You may encounter build failures or other breakages.
Please create pull-requests instead of filing issues.

So the most easy would be just using the built in PHP instead of one that was installed by brew.

Fixed it,.. somehow Xcode alone wasn't enough. I also needed to install the commandline tools to get it working.
