Question

I just need a tool to generate this file. I’ve seen there is a tool called pfm (pear file manager), but it’s in alpha and I got errors when I try to run pear build:

s3v3n@s3v3n-laptop:~/dev/project/modules/custommodule$ pear build
running: phpize
Cannot find config.m4.
Make sure that you run '/usr/bin/phpize' in the top level source directory of 
the module `phpize' failed

I have doubts about the second pfm question:

Enter the base install directory*:

I typed /. Could this be the problem? What should I enter instead?

If you know other tools that work fine, please suggest them too.

Answer 1

The problem is that pear build is not the correct command to generate the package.xml file.
The correct command is: pear package.
