PHP 7 on Mac OS X custom build, Xdebug and Composer

How to build PHP 7 on Mac OS X.

1. Install XCode 
2. Add command line tools. They can be added with command xcode-select --install
3. Download latest version from http://php.net/downloads.php
4. Install OpenSSL with a homebrew: brew install openssl
5. Find your Openssl version: ls /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/
6. Use it in the configure command:

'./configure' \

'--prefix=/usr/local' \

'--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc' \

'--enable-debug' \

'--with-openssl=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2g' \

'--enable-mbstring' \

'--enable-fpm' \

'--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc' \

'--enable-mysqlnd' \

'--with-pdo-mysql' \

'--with-mysqli=shared' \

'--with-bz2=shared,/usr/lib' \

'--enable-bcmath=shared' \

'--with-curl=shared' \

'--with-freetype-dir=/usr' \

'--with-png-dir=/usr' \

'--with-gd=shared' \

'--enable-gd-native-ttf' \

'--with-jpeg-dir=shared,/usr' \

'--with-zlib=shared' \

'--with-xsl=shared' \

'--with-iconv=shared' \

'--with-pear' \

'--with-mhash=shared' \

'--disable-exif' \

'--disable-ftp' \

'--disable-sockets' \

'--disable-sysvsem' \

'--disable-sysvshm' \

'--disable-shmop' \

'--disable-ipv6' \

'--disable-posix' \

'--with-layout=PHP'

Note: openssl and mbstring extensions are required by Composer, it is convenient to compile them as non-shared.

7. Compile and install: make; make install 

8. Copy "php.ini-development" file from the source folder to /usr/local/etc/php.ini and update

9. Add XDebug: pecl install xdebug

Add "zend_extension=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/debug-non-zts-20151012/xdebug.so" to /usr/local/etc/php.ini

10. Make alias in ~/.bash_profile to call php without xdebug

alias composer='php -n ~/bin/composer'
