Summary0001291: Debugclient installation fails on Mac OS X
Description

After successful compilation, it's impossible to install debugclient. Maybe it's due to the System Integrity Protection feature on recent Mac OS X versions?

$ sudo make install
Password:
./install-sh -c -d '/usr/local/bin'
/bin/sh: ./install-sh: Permission denied
make[1]: [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1
make: [install-am] Error 2

Steps To Reproduce

Unpacking the Xdebug source tarball and running:

cd debugclient/
./configure --with-libedit
make
sudo make install

Additional Information

Xdebug build and installation were done against PHP 7.0.5 but I can only select up to 7.0.4 in this report.

TagsNo tags attached.
Operating SystemMac OS X 10.11.4
PHP Version7.0.0-7.0.4

I'm not familiar with Mac OS X - what does this feature do? In any case, you should be able to just run the "debugclient" command from the compiled directory. I don't ever install it myself actually. Just ./debugclient/debugclient.

It'd be good to be able to fix this though, but not sure how (and I can't try, as I have no Mac).

This feature stops people from writing to certain system directories, I think that's why they call it "rootless mode" because not even root can write to them. You need to disable the feature altogether to have the regular permissions. It's been controversial. Maybe the install script is trying to write to a "secure" directory, although /usr/local should be allowed.

I see the problem. The install script (install-sh) does not have the right
permissions. On Linux, there is usually /usr/bin/install, so ./install-sh
is not used. If I remove my local /usr/bin/install, I can reproduce this.

I have fixed this, for Xdebug 2.4.1.
