Installing XDebug from source

Posted by Ralph on May 27, 2008

XDebug is one of the best debugging and profiling tools for PHP. This video tutorial will show you how to compile and install XDebug on Ubuntu Hardy Haron 8.04 Server Edition.

In the tutorial I have mentioned a Zend Developer series of articles about using XDebug this is a link to the articles.

    Hi, why installing xdebug from source? What difference are between both versions? (ubuntu repos and last xdebug release)

    I ask this because I’d like to use ubuntu repositories but i don’t know if there are some problem with it. Thanks and congrats for this useful clips :^)

    There is probably no difference between these two. But you don’t always have latest version of XDebug in the repository so I decided to show how to install it from source.

    Thanks for comment.

    Thanks for this great tutorial Ralph ! I’m using Ubuntu/Hardy on AMD64 and I installed XDebug from repositories cause the last version was available (2.0.3). I installed the php5-xdebug package. Hope it could help people who don’t want to install from source :-)
