Install xdebug on XAMPP on your Mac: PHPize is not working properly

I use xampp5.6.15 on OS 10.11. I follow this instruction to install xDebug. My “tailor-made installation instructions” are as follows:

In this description, it does not mention where to download the tgz file, So I put it in the download folder. After I run phpize, the output is as follows:

grep: /usr/include/php/main/php .h: No such file or directory grep:
/usr/include/php/Zend/zend_modules.h: No such file or directory grep:
/usr/include/php/Zend/zend_extensions.h: No such file or directory
Configuring for: PHP Api Version:
Zend Module Api No:
Zend Extension Api No:
Cannot find autoconf. Please check your
autoconf installation and the $PHP_AUTOCONF environment variable.
Then, rerun this script.

I think this is because the xdebug folder is not in the correct location, I have tried moving it to xamppfiles/ and xamppfiles/modules/ and Some other places, but nothing works.

What’s wrong with that? Where should I put the folder?

brew install autoconf

I think you missed two things:

> PHP source

I don’t know XAMPP so I can’t help here. Maybe the PHP source code is packaged with XAMPP, take a look.

> autoconf

Try to install autoconf

brew install autoconf
