pecl does not work under alpine versions

[mikk150]

I am trying to convert my PHP image from php:7.0-zts to php:7.0-zts-alpine, but I havent yet found how to make pecl work

phpize is missing

phpize should be available, but the dependencies it requires are not; I've had success just now building the following on my machine:

FROM php:7.0-fpm-alpine

RUN apk add --no-cache \
		$PHPIZE_DEPS \
		openssl-dev

RUN pecl install mongodb-1.2.5
RUN docker-php-ext-enable mongodb

[mikk150]

oh phpize is not installed when $PHPIZE_DEPS is not installed

FROM php:7.0-zts-alpine

RUN apk add --no-cache \
        $PHPIZE_DEPS \
    && pecl install pthreads \
    && docker-php-ext-enable pthreads

actually works...

I find it a bit sad to have to reinstall all of $PHPIZE_DEPS. Couldn't this be handled trough a package.xml?
