Subject: PHP 4 win build system questions
From: techtonik@tut.by (techtonik)

||*()*|| Greetings, phpinnards.. =)

  I tried to automate build system for PHP 4 a bit and after that
can't get some stupid questions out of my head. Install instructions
located as usual http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.building.php

  There are at least two inconveniences:
  1. Need to copy bison.sample from win32build\bin to c:\usr\local\lib
  2. Need to recompile resolv.lib every time target changes

  So the questions are the following
  1.1 Why not to get rid of this bison.sample copy operation either by
      1.1.1 upgrade bison.exe in win32build.zip from 1.27 to at
            least 1.34, which adds -S options to specify bison.sample
            explicitly and also includes some memory leak fixes
            http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=274058
        or
      1.1.2 set up environment variable BISON_SIMPLE somewhere in
            build files/scripts?

  2.1 Why resolv.lib needs to be recompiled every time when target
      changes from "debug" to "release" and vice versa
      2.1.1 Why it is not possible to supply a separate resolv_debug.lib
            and resolv_release.lib files in win32build.zip and rewrite
            dependencies for them in windows build files?

Thanks.
