  <p class="simpara">
   Sometimes, using the <strong class="command">pecl</strong> installer is not an option.
   This could be because there is a firewall or because the extension being
   installed is unavailable as a PECL-compatible package, such as unreleased
   extensions from git.
   If such an extension needs to be built, the lower-level build tools can be
   used to perform the build manually.
  </p>
  <p class="simpara">
   The <strong class="command">phpize</strong> 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>.
   The <var class="filename">php.ini</var> will need to be adjusted, and an
   <code class="literal">extension=extname.so</code>
   line will need to be added before the extension can be used.
  </p>
  <p class="simpara">
   If the system is missing the <strong class="command">phpize</strong> command, and
   precompiled packages (like RPM&#039;s) are used, be sure to install also the
   appropriate development version of the PHP package as they often include the
   <strong class="command">phpize</strong>
   command along with the proper header files to build PHP and its extensions.
  </p>
  <p class="simpara">
   Execute <strong class="command">phpize --help</strong> to display additional usage
   information.
