Build PECL package on specific PHP version

README.md

One summer beautiful day I updated PHP from 7.4 to 8.0 and PHPStorm from 2019.3 to 2021.3 on my work station.

I used xDebug v2.9.8 from PECL on PHP 7.4 and xDebug v3.1.2 from Ubuntu repository ppa:ondrej/php on PHP 8.0

I wanted to preserve different version xDebug on different version PHP. Do not tell me Why :-)

This script build xDebug from PECL for PHP 7.4. Example usage:

./pecl-php-package-installer.sh 7.4 xdebug 2.9.8

You may use this code for building necessary version of xDebug or other PECL package on target PHP version.

However, if you will try to build the different version of the same package on different target PHP, the previous build of package was purged.

I not found the reason. Tell me if you know.

I build xDebug v2.9.8 for PHP 7.4 using this script and install xDebug v3.1.2 from apt.

Final result:

# ./pecl-php-package-installer.sh 7.4 xdebug 2.9.8
# php7.4 -v

P.S.: I got all what I wanted and back to the job.
