How to compile and install xdebug in Ubuntu environment

This article describes how to compile and install xdebug in Ubuntu environment. Share with you for your reference, the details are as follows:

We have previously introduced how to compile and install PHP and Nginx in Ubuntu. Here we will explain how to compile and install xdebug from source code.

Download and unzip xdebug

xdebug download address: https://xdebug.org/download.php

I downloaded 2.3.3. Actually, I don’t know the difference between these versions, so I just downloaded one at random.

cd /usr/local/src
wget https://xdebug.org/files/xdebug-2.3.3.tgz
tar -zxvf xdebug-2.3.3.tgz

Compile and install xdebug

PHP is installed in the /opt/php path

cd /usr/local/src/xdebug-2.3.3
/opt/php/bin/phpize
./configure --prefix=/opt/xdebug --with-php-config=/opt/php/bin/php-config
make && make install

After successful installation, the following information will be displayed:

Installing shared extensions:
/opt/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/

Configure php.ini

We add the xdebug extension at the end of php.ini:

zend_extension=/opt/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/xdebug.so

Restart nginx to take effect.

If you can't find php.ini, you can use /opt/php/bin/php -i |grep php.ini to find the path information of php.ini. If there is no php.ini file in the corresponding path, you can cpoy a php.ini-development or php.ini-production from the unzipped php source code.

I hope this article will help you configure your Ubuntu environment.
