Yes it is broken without some changes and then it might not work.
First you need to add --with-php. Then the build fails with several warnings like:
fontembed/fontfile.h:13:4: warning: ISO C99 doesn’t support unnamed structs/unions [-Wpedantic]
And it fails with
scripting/php/phpcups.c:29:33: fatal error: cups/string-private.h: No such file or directory
string-private.h does exist in the cups tarball, but it is not installed with our instructions. cups does have
--with-privateinclude set path for private include files, default=none
so I suppose that should be set to /usr/include/cups to get that to install. I'm not sure we want to go to all this trouble for something no one has ever asked for.
