According to #10648 seems like the maintainer won't fix the compilation on Phantomjs 1.x on Yosemite. It seems like the only way for now is to grab prebuilt library and just put it somewhere in your PATH.

[preston]

Wow, that sucks. 😦

[ariya]

@preston I'm sorry this situation does not please you at all.

A workaround exists: download the binary from http://phantomjs.org/download.html and unpack it.

[ariya]

Closing this as WONTFIX (see also #10648 (comment)):

PhantomJS 1.x will not build on Yosemite. I don't think we'll ever fix this (focusing on 2.x only for now).

Even after I adopted the fixes mentioned in the above upstream bugs, it still failed to compile:

@MikeMcQuaid I am curious to know if you found a similar issue (and fix) when building Qt 4 on Homebrew with Yosemite?

[MikeMcQuaid]

Qt4 builds for us with this patch: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DomT4/scripts/440e3cafde5bf6ec6f50cd28fa5bf89c280f1b53/Homebrew_Resources/Qt/qt4patch.diff

[ariya]

@MikeMcQuaid I saw that, it looks similar to https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/commit/997d6261. I've tried to apply either and my setup still complained with the above error.

[ariya]

This is fixed in 1.9 branch and will be part of the forthcoming 1.9.8 release (#12670).

[vassilevsky]

Awesome!

It's so satisfying to unpin phantomjs in Homebrew and upgrade it now :D

[jkcable]

Where is the binary for 1.9.8 or how can I get it?

https://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/downloads/list only has 1.9.2.

This link doesn't have any links to previous binaries http://phantomjs.org/download.html.
