Description:

Latest PCRE is installed manually. Configure options are as follows:

--with-pcre-regex=/usr/local --with-pcre-jit --enable-mbstring --sysconfdir=/private/etc --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-config-file-scan-dir=/Library/Server/Web/Config/php --with-apxs2

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [libs/libphp7.bundle] Error 1


For some reason instead of using -L/usr/local/lib we see -L/usr/lib there which points to the wrong (older version compiled without jit) PCRE library provided by Apple. Changing /usr/lib to /usr/local/lib and re-running that compile step manually from the command line succeeds and invoking `make' again completes the build.

Compilation doesn't fail if configure options don't contain --with-apxs2 (no building of the libphp7.so)
