<p class="simpara">
Sometimes, using the <i>pecl</i> installer is not an option.
This could be because you're behind a firewall, or it could be because the
extension you want to install is not available as a PECL compatible
package, such as unreleased extensions from SVN. If you need to build such
an extension, you can use the lower-level build tools to perform the build
manually.
</p>
<p class="simpara">
The <i>phpize</i> command is used to prepare the build
environment for a PHP extension. In the following sample, the sources for
an extension are in a directory named <var class="filename">extname</var>:
</p>
<p class="para">
<div class="example-contents screen">
<div class="cdata"><pre>
$ cd extname
$ phpize
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install
</pre></div>
</div>
</p>
<p class="simpara">
A successful install will have created <var class="filename">extname.so</var> and put it
into the PHP
<a href="ini.core.php#ini.extension-dir" class="link">extensions directory</a>. You'll need
to and adjust <var class="filename">php.ini</var> and add an <i>extension=extname.so</i>
line before you can use the extension.
</p>
<p class="simpara">
If the system is missing the <i>phpize</i> command, and precompiled
packages (like RPM's) are used, be sure to also install the appropriate
devel version of the PHP package as they often include the
<i>phpize</i> command along with the appropriate header files to
build PHP and its extensions.
</p>
<p class="simpara">
Execute <strong class="command">phpize --help</strong>to display additional usage information.
