After downloading and extracting the xdebug tar I ran /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.4/bin/phpize
Here is the output:
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version: 20100412
Zend Module Api No: 20100525
Zend Extension Api No: 220100525
I then copied the modules/xdebug.so file into the mamp php5.4.4 extensions dir: `/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.4/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20100525/xdebug.
If I run /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.4/bin/php -v I get the following:
Xdebug requires Zend Engine API version 220090626.
The Zend Engine API version 220100525 which is installed, is newer.
Contact Derick Rethans at http://xdebug.org/docs/faq#api for a later version of Xdebug.
