Installing XDebug with Mac OS 10.9 and XAMPP

Question

I'm getting an headache with XDebug, I can't install it. I download the source in the official site :

git clone git://github.com/xdebug/xdebug.git

then, I know I have a preinstalled version of PHP installed, so I invoke phpize by :

sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/phpize

it get me the output :

    Configuring for:
PHP Api Version:         20100412
Zend Module Api No:      20100525
Zend Extension Api No:   220100525

It seems everything is OK.

the only thing that could be wrong is that doc says I should get :

then, I use ./configure

creating libtool
appending configuration tag "CXX" to libtool
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged

it seems OK.

Then, following the official documentation, I do : sudo make

output :

Libraries have been installed in:
   /Users/admin/Downloads/xdebug-2.2.5/xdebug-2.2.5/modules

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Build complete.
Don't forget to run 'make test'.

It seems to be OK to. Then:

cp modules/xdebug.so /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/php-5.3.0/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626

and Finally, I edit :

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/php.ini and add the line
zend_extension = /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/php-5.3.0/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/xdebug.so

I restart the server, and I always have :

Where am I wrong?

I tried all the ways, binaries, pecl, etc... nothing is working.

Answer 1

You can used xdebug default.

edited in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/php.ini assigned the location of xdebug.so to zend_extension

[xdebug]
zend_extension="/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/xdebug.so"
;change no-debug-non-zts-20131226 for your folder
;debug remote
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_port =9000
xdebug.remote_enable = 1

and restart lampp and Xdebug is installed.
