In general, building PHP on windows should be as easy as on Unix, not requiring any special knowledge of the tools, meaning: 1. Get environment with MSVC set up 2. Get external libraries (recommended to put them in same upper-level dir as php checkout) 3. Run buildconf 4. Run cscript configure.js --options 5. Run nmake 6. Enjoy your PHP build If something doesn't work along the way, most probably some library is missing or wrong version, etc. There's now dedicated windows list internals-win@lists.php.net, which might be a better place for discussing it, but in any case description of the error message would help. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
