Cannot find imap library (libc-client.a) while compiling PHP71

A.Ch · Jul 19, 2018

Hello,

I am trying to compile imap into my php but I am facing this issue error everytime :

Code:

configure: error: Cannot find imap library (libc-client.a). Please check your c-client installation.

Would you please mention that how would I be able to add this library to my FreeBSD or in general solve this problem ?

Thank you in advanced

What FreeBSD version are you using and what PHP port are you trying to install?

FreeBSD 11 and PHP71

Thank you very much for your reply,

I also found this method for those who are using DirectAdmin:

1.

Code:

pkg install imap-uw

2. add line to file: /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/fpm/configure.php71

Code:

--with-imap=/usr/local/php-imap\

3.

Code:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild && ./build php
