This way is specially recommended for MacOSX users. – Ignacio Segura May 31 '16 at 21:58

Works also with MacPorts: `port install autoconf`. – tomasbedrich Feb 15 '17 at 13:44

I got here looking for an answer for docker when using Alpine linux this worked for me (I tried @Dimitros solution but did not work):

RUN apk --no-cache add pcre-dev ${PHPIZE_DEPS} \ 
  && pecl install xdebug \
  && docker-php-ext-enable xdebug \
  && apk del pcre-dev ${PHPIZE_DEPS}

This works! just don't forget to follow docker image's documentation `It is strongly recommended that users use an explicit version number in their pecl install invocations to ensure proper PHP version compatibility` – Alwin Kesler Jan 17 '19 at 22:19
Im still getting errors: The command '/bin/sh -c apk add --no-cache pcre-dev ${PHPIZE_DEPS} && pecl install xdebug-2.6.0 && docker-php-ext-enable xdebug && apk del pcre-dev ${PHPIZE_DEPS}' returned a non-zero code: 4 – Marcelo Fonseca Jun 28 '19 at 18:03

For me this was enough: `apk --no-cache add autoconf g++ make && pecl install xdebug && docker-php-ext-enable xdebug && rm -rf /tmp/pear; apk del autoconf g++ make;` in `php:8.0.2-alpine` docker image – piotrekkr Feb 12 '21 at 13:44

@piotrekkr Thanks! This solution works great within a container of the docker-image php:8.0.20RC1-zts-alpine3.16 – JackLeEmmerdeur May 27 '22 at 23:12

You need to install autoconf

For CentOS:

# yum install autoconf

for Ubuntu :

# apt-get install autoconf

for fedora 24-27:

   # dnf install autoconf

For Alpine Linux the apk add feature has (for cleanup) a concept of virtual packages using the --virtual or -t switch. An example use of this would be removing a group of build dependencies all at once:

apk add --no-cache --update --virtual buildDeps autoconf \
 && pecl install xdebug \
 && docker-php-ext-enable xdebug \
 && apk del buildDeps
