Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: SNAPS+SNAPSPecl different to Pecl4Win
From: giunta.gaetano@gmail.com (Gaetano Giunta)

I think I finally have something demoable, regarding the possibility of 
extending pecl4win to offer compiled dlls of the released version pf 
pecl packages, besides the compiled cvs version.

The build process is almost ok:
+ two separate build environments (incl. pecl trees) are used: one for 
pecl cvs, one for packaged versions
+ after pulling via http the released packages from pecl.php.net, if 
file config.win32 is missing. it is pulled in from cvs. This brought 
total compiled dll count (for php 5.2.3) up to 38 (there are 3/4  
config.w32 files that still need to be patched by hand, but you only 
have to do it once)
+ I still have to sort out some troubles in building single extensions...

A modified version of the pecl4win site is available here: 
http://gggeek.altervista.org/sw/pecl4in/
Please note that all links on the pages are broken (no postgres support 
on that shared host, so I took snapshots of the actual php scripts), you 
can only access the pages via the main index.
It is built on a very small, hand inserted data set, with the only 
purpose of testing php+sql code.

There is a lot more info than before available, but I somehow have the 
feeling that the disposition is  messy. Any suggestion for a better 
layout/infoset is welcome.
Please note that:
+ page titles / table column headers have been reworked a bit, for 
greater consistency
+ the single ext.page layout has seen a column/row swap to accommodate 
many releases of the same extension
+ a link back to pecl has been added on the single extension page
+++ there is a huge inconsistency between pecl and pecl4win: whereas the 
former uses the term PACKAGE, the latter uses EXTENSION. Maybe it would 
be a good idea to fix this?

Bye
Gaetano

ps: I'm still polishing the code, but it is available to everybody who 
requests it...
