Sorry, I don't understand. You can checkout my branch with these changes, if that's what you mean? It should work, more or less, but with a few missing features.

Hello, you need to set `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` so that pecl can find the brew libvips binary. I think there's a php-vips-ext formula in homebrew which does this for you (I think).

Nice! I keep a selection of Dockerfiles here: https://github.com/jcupitt/docker-builds Eg. might be relevant: https://github.com/jcupitt/docker-builds/tree/master/ruby-vips-libvips-ubuntu18.04

Or perhaps: https://github.com/jcupitt/docker-builds/blob/master/php-vips-ubuntu-16.04/Dockerfile

That is very weird. You shouldn't need to set `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` if you are using the standard libvips packages -- you only need to set it if you want `pkg-config` to...

Yes, this works: ``` FROM debian:9.11 RUN apt-get update \ && apt-get install -y \ php-dev \ libvips-dev RUN pecl install vips ``` I guess there's something funny about your...

Here's a dockerfile for libvips latest on debian9. https://github.com/jcupitt/docker-builds/blob/master/php-vips-debian9/Dockerfile

Hello @web-apply, Don't use php-vips-ext directly! You need php-vips: https://github.com/libvips/php-vips It has a stable, documented and supported API. We are removing php-vips-ext soon. If you use it directly, all your...

We're switching to the new PHP FFI module. php-vips will use that to call into libvips directly, with no need for a binary module like php-vips-ext. It should make maintenance...

php-vips isn't so heavy, is it? It's only a few thousand lines of code. The core of the new FFI version is under 1,000 lines for the whole of libvips.
