I need to install a couple of PHP extensions, like memcache and geoip, on MAMP 3.5, for PHP 5.6.10.

What I'm doing is to run phpize:

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.10/bin/phpize

Which outputs:

Configuring for:

PHP Api Version: 20131106

Zend Module Api No: 20131226

Zend Extension Api No: 220131226

Then configure:

/configure --with-php-config=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.10/bin/php-config

And, afterwards, try to build with make. This is where I get this error:

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.10/include/php/Zend/zend.h:51:11: fatal error: 'zend_config.h' file not found

I downloaded the content of the include/php folder from php.net, version 5.6.10 (found here).

I feel I'm closer now to solving this problem, but I'm at loss with this error. What am I doing wrong, so that apparently the freshly downloaded php from php.net is missing files?

Thank you.

I ended up using pecl instead of manually compiling the extensions.

The headers missing on the make step were I didn't run ./configure on the php folder - I came across this step by chance, really.

Afterwards, all I had to do was run:

sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.10/bin/pecl install memcache

And everything was running on wheels.

Before trying pecl, I tried to run make as I was doing on my post, and the extension compiled successfully, but I had versions mismatch between the php and the extension. I had previously tried pecl without success, but I don't really know what changed in my configuration since I last tried.

Anyway, I wrote a gist with all my steps to get this working, in case anyone has the same problem and is a complete beginner on this subject like I am.
