My method of installing different #PHP versions with homebrew is now broken; the versions install but trying to run php results in :"Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/libvmaf/lib/libvmaf.1.dylib"
@carbontwelve I'm not using Mac myself any more. But may I ask whether you tried #MacPortsmacports.org/ as an alternative to #homebrew and whether you might share your experience?
I guess MacPorts is older and still maintained. I never tried it as homebrew was "the way to go" back when I started to play around with such things on my Mac.
@danielsiepmann I did give MacPorts a go and it worked, I would install the two versions of PHP I needed, however some things I needed to install had missing dependencies such as sudo port install php74-openssl would error on Dependency 'kerberos5' not found; with kerberos5 itself being listed on their website but trying to install it would error with "Port kerberos5 not found".
Homebrew only supports macOS versions that Apple supports, this is what started the problems I was encountering...
@danielsiepmann ... because once your OS version becomes unsupported, homebrew will no longer ship binaries and will instead compile everything on your computer with unsuported results.
In my case, this lead to broken installs because some things failed to compile.
I then upgraded my macOS to the latest version forgetting that I still had broken libraries installed.
That is why running brew reinstall libvmaf fixed the install for me, I still had the broken compile installed...
@danielsiepmann ... MacPorts is easy to use; although the installer hung for me right upon completion and required a force quit.
When I ask homebrew to install php@8.2 it will install the command line tools and setup php-fpm. This is handy, for MacPorts that is two install commands and you have to then do the configuration yourself.
I find homestead more useful because some tooling I use is designed to work with it.
@carbontwelve@danielsiepmann The installer likely didn't hang, but was downloading the initial copy of the Portfiles, which can take a while. Killing it may also explain why kerberos5 was missing. Running sudo port selfupdate should fix that.
@neverpanic@danielsiepmann interesting, running that now and it does seem to sit on "updating the ports tree" with tcl hammering a single core so I believe you're right and I just wasn't patient enough (after six hours of debugging I was running out of patience.)
If the installer could split that out as a final stage with a "this will take x minutes" or even better a display of something happening as a comfort would make the install process a better experience.
@carbontwelve Perhaps a path issue somewhere in a config, as the path should not be under /usr/local instead should be under /opt. Unless of course you changed it to be under /usr/local.
@danielsiepmann the solution was to run ‘brew reinstall libvmaf’ I suspect that something caused it to not install correctly the first time around and I didn’t notice due to the five miles of console output at the time.
