[FIXED] How to generate package.xml file for pear

Issue

I just need a tool to generate this file. I've seen there is a tool called pfm (pear file manager), but it's in alpha and I got errors when I try to run pear build:

s3v3n@s3v3n-laptop:~/dev/project/modules/custommodule$ pear build
running: phpize
Cannot find config.m4.
Make sure that you run '/usr/bin/phpize' in the top level source directory of 
the module `phpize' failed

I have doubts about the second pfm question:

Enter the base install directory*:

I typed /. Could this be the problem? What should I enter instead?

If you know other tools that work fine, please suggest them too.

Solution

The problem is that pear build is not the correct command to generate the package.xml file. The correct command is: pear package.
