Phalcon can only be compiled with zephir build on Ubuntu 18.04

[dschissler]

Installation hangs on Ubuntu 18.04 when compiling from tarball using the ./install method. However it does compile with zephir builid using latest zephir. I tested that Phalcon\Version::get() works.

Ubuntu 18.04 uses PHP 7.2 and GCC 7.3.0.

I was able to install it using the ./install method, but had to do this:

Create a file in /etc/php/7.2/mods-available called phalcon.ini with the content as:
extension=phalcon.so

Then run the command:
ln -s /etc/php/7.2/mods-available/phalcon.ini /etc/php/7.2/cli/conf.d/50-phalcon.ini

Doing this it will create a symbolic link to the file you just created, to be loaded with priority 50, or in other words, it will be the last extension loaded so you should not have any conflicts when starting the php service.
