Compiling Xdebug manually and integrating with PhpStorm on macOS Catalina 10.15.4

Integrating Xdebug on PhpStorm has been always hectic, something always comes up which makes you go through a number of guides on the web and cost a lot of time if you are lucky you will somehow manage to integrate successfully otherwise keep on looking... 

I faced this kind of situation multiple times in the past and one more recently with macOS Catalina. I managed to integrate successfully after spending quite a bit of time but this time, I would like to share my findings with you so that you don't have to bang your head on the wall :) 

Being that said, here goes the detailed post which I wrote on this topic, hope this will help you to compile Xdebug without any troubles.
