I'm sure it > can work, but it might raise issues with some missing quoting. Not that many that are useful, many are abandonware, that being the reason i opted for the autotools infra with the tweak. PECL packages are compiled (these ones are), PEAR packages are normally interpreted so it's just a matter of just installing them. Arguably we could also enable PEAR installs in the target itself but i don't think it's the spirit of buildroot, like CPAN for perl. But we don't have any PEAR packages at the moment. Regards.
