Install Xdebug from sources in Dockerfile, docker

Posted on | by tomek.madera@gmail.com

Tested on: docker php:5.6.40-fpm

If you need Xdebug version compatibile with older php versions and you can’t do it by PECL.

Download sources to .docker dir e.g. .docker/xdebug-2.5.5.tgz

In Dockerfile:

# Xdebug install from sources
RUN echo \
    && mkdir /usr/local/lib/xdebug
COPY .docker/xdebug-2.5.5.tgz /usr/local/lib/xdebug/xdebug-2.5.5.tgz
RUN echo \
    && cd /usr/local/lib/xdebug/ && tar zxvf xdebug-2.5.5.tgz \
    && cd /usr/local/lib/xdebug/xdebug-2.5.5 \
    && phpize \
    && ./configure --enable-xdebug \
    && make \
    && make install
