Fedora 30 : Install the last version of PHP.

I try to install the last version of PHP version 7.4.0beta2 with Fedora 30 distro the LXQt environment.
I have not used this programming language for a few years and it is a good issue to remember it.
I download teh archive from the official website and I run these commands:
[mythcat@desk ~]$ cd php/
[mythcat@desk php]$ tar -xf php-7.4.0beta2.tar.xz 
[mythcat@desk php]$ cd php-7.4.0beta2/
[mythcat@desk php-7.4.0beta2]$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /usr/bin/grep
checking for egrep... /usr/bin/grep -E
checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /usr/bin/sed
checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for cc... no
checking for gcc... no
configure: error: in `/home/mythcat/php/php-7.4.0beta2':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details
[mythcat@desk php-7.4.0beta2]$ vi config
[mythcat@desk php-7.4.0beta2]$ vi config
config.log    config.nice   configure     configure.ac  
[mythcat@desk php-7.4.0beta2]$ vi config.log 
Let's try to install all requests for compiler:
[root@desk home]# dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"
Let's see if these settings working well:
[root@desk home]# dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"
Waiting for process with pid 4373 to finish.
[root@desk home]# kill  -9 4373
[root@desk home]# dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"
...
Complete!
[root@desk home]# dnf install libxml2-devel.x86_64
...
Installed:
  libxml2-devel-2.9.9-2.fc30.x86_64                          xz-devel-5.2.4-5.fc30.x86_64
The last dnf command come with this output:
checking for sqlite3 > 3.7.4... no
configure: error: Package requirements (sqlite3 > 3.7.4) were not met:

Package 'sqlite3', required by 'virtual:world', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix. 
Let's test it with an old version of sqlite:
[root@desk home]# dnf install sqlite-devel.x86_64 
...
Installed:
  sqlite-devel-3.26.0-6.fc30.x86_64 
And is working well:
[mythcat@desk php-7.4.0beta2]$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
...
config.status: executing default commands
