The compilation instructions are detailed in
https://github.com/eaccelerator/eaccelerator/blob/master/README.
Apparently, you need to call phpize (which comes with PHP, but I don't
know if we build it for the host at the moment, I don't think so), it
probably generates a configure script, that you execute, and then you
can build the extension.

For sure, this extension needs to be a separate package from the php
package.

Best regards,

Thomas
