Probably this module won't work with the PHP7 environment and API.

May we get this working?

Thanks!

For some reason, I am unable to install this in my ubuntu system. I keep getting numerous errors. for instance, cd xz && phpize && ./configure && make && sudo make install gives a number of errors. This is how my installation looks: -

sudo phpize

You may have found a problem in PHP.
We would like to send this report automatically to the
PHP QA team, to give us a better understanding of how
the test cases are doing. If you don't want to send it
immediately, you can choose "s" to save the report to
a file that you can send us later.
Do you want to send this report now? [Yns]:

Does it support parallel, multi-threaded compression?

Implement LZMA stream filters similar to other compression extensions.

WIll you add support for the compression level?

Something like compress.lzma://

<?php
$fh = fopen('compress.lzma://http://obfuskate.com/test.xz', 'r');
fpassthru($fh);
?>

As I see, there is nobody maintinaing this repo since 2013. Probably it needs new power...
