I finally came up with a Solution of Uninstalling XAMPP Application and installing Native LAMP stack server.

Why Because I cannot Recompile PHP in XAMPP. It will be more difficult.

I used My native Linux Apache/PHP installation instead, So I can download source packages and recompile PHP to my needs.

You can go to Google and build webP libraries from source code in your server. https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/download

And as far as I concerned Ubuntu and Debian does not bundle the GD libs with them because of some kind of security reasons. (I don't know which distro that you use) You can recompile the PHP or add with this for Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install php5-gd

don't forget the restart your web server. You can do it same for RPM packages as well.
