Summary	0002057: Xdebug cannot be installed via PECL on OpenBSD
Description	During installation on OpenBSD, PECL complains about missing "phpize", which cannot be installed via PECL or PEAR and it is not in any of the packages. I have searched the net for a solution, but all I have found is that on Linux "phpize" comes with some "php-dev" package which doesn't exist on OpenBSD.
Steps To Reproduce	pecl install xdebug downloading xdebug-3.1.2.tgz ... Starting to download xdebug-3.1.2.tgz (230,023 bytes) .................................................done: 230,023 bytes 93 source files, building running: phpize sh: phpize: not found ERROR: `phpize' failed
Tags	No tags attached.

Operating System	OpenBSD
PHP Version	7.4.20-7.4.29

If the OpenBSD package manager does not install that, or make available, then that is a bug in the `pecl` package on OpenBSD. I can't do anything about that. I did see some hints that there is a `phpize` package (or port), so you might be able to try that. FWIW, somebody did reach out to me in the last few weeks about making a specific OpenBSD port for Xdebug, but that has not been published yet, I think.
