Building XDebug For Use by MAMP?

I'm using MAMP on Mac OSX Mavericks. I'd like to install the latest XDebug, v2.2.4. Per the XDebug Wizard, I downloaded the XDebug 2.2.4 source. I have many versions of phpize installed on my system - one that is in /usr/bin/, and many others that come with MAMP. MAMP supplies the required phpize for each version of PHP it includes.

Seeking to use the correct phpize, per the XDebug Wizard instructions - http://xdebug.org/docs/faq#custom-phpize - I ran the phpize for PHP 5.5.3 via:

 /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/bin/phpize

..and got this output:

grep: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/include/php/main/php.h: No such file or directory
grep: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/include/php/Zend/zend_modules.h: No such file or directory
grep: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/include/php/Zend/zend_extensions.h: No such file or directory
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version:        
Zend Module Api No:     
Zend Extension Api No:

Just in case this was not an error (since it appeared that I was following XDebug Wizard directions), I then ran configure via:

./configure --with-php-config=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.3/bin/php-config

...and I ran:

make

...but got this error:

fatal error: 'php.h' file not found

What is the correct way to build XDebug on OSX for use by MAMP?

Thanks very much in advance to all for any thoughts or info.

Incase anyone else stumbles across this from Google...

My issue was the wrong phpize binary was found on the path.

I was able to resolve this using the Xdebug FAQ, specifically this section: https://xdebug.org/docs/faq#custom-phpize

When Xdebug wizard asks you to run phpize, instead find and run phpize in your MAMP directory. For me, this was:

/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.1.19/bin/phpize

After this, you should see an output similar to your tailored installation instructions.

Then find and run php-config in your MAMP directory (Note: this command must be run from where you have Xdebug stored on your machine). For me, this was:

./configure --with-php-config=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.1.19/bin/php-config

You'll see a bunch of output... Followed by a, "Build complete." message.

Now you can return to your tailored installation instructions (be sure to skip the next step, Run: ./configure).

I had a similar issue and it was resolved after installing XCode and the Command Line Tools for XCode. I already had XCode installed, but I recently moved over to a new machine so I had to open it back up and it updated some things. Then I opened Terminal and ran the command...

xcode-select --install

That popped up a prompt to install the command line tools which I did and it resolved my issue.
