## #33089 — Edward Z. Yang — 2007-11-11T03:08:21+00:00

As far as I can tell, bindlib_w32 contains sources for resolv.lib.
However, win32build.zip contains a precompiled version of resolv.lib and
the necessary headers. The README.WIN32-BUILD-SYSTEM file states:

>  You also need:
>   - bindlib_w32 [http://www.php.net/extra/bindlib_w32.zip]
>   - win32build  [http://www.php.net/extra/win32build.zip]

If win32build.zip already contains a precompiled version (as well as
headers), why is bindlib_w32.zip necessary? If it is not, I am going to
remove (or at least move) those directions in the PHP documentation to
later on, for users interested in compiling all of PHP's constituent
libraries.

thanks.
