The windows ones are not made on snaps.php.net, but the script for the Unix snaps are in CVS: http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/systems/update-snapshots?revision=1.5&view=markup regards, Derick -- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl | http://ezcomponents.org | http://xdebug.org --- ## #37524 — Hannes Magnusson — 2008-05-07T20:22:51+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/37520#37524 · In reply to: #37520 > Hi! > > Are the scripts used to build snapshots at snaps.php.net (esp. windows > ones) publicly available from somewhere? I don't think any windows build scripts are available anywhere. The snaps.php.net/index.php is available in systems/snaps_index.php and the tars are built with systems/update-snapshots (or should at least). I believe Pierre, Richard, Elizabeth and Scott did some changes to the Windows release builds to eliminate a bus factor of one, but I don't think any "official scripts" exist. -Hannes --- ## #37525 — Elizabeth M Smith — 2008-05-07T20:25:23+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/37520#37525 · In reply to: #37520 Stanislav Malyshev wrote: > Hi! > > Are the scripts used to build snapshots at snaps.php.net (esp. windows > ones) publicly available from somewhere? As far as I know, they're not - however the important stuff is all taken care of by the makefile and windows configure scripts as long as you use --enable-snapshot-build when compiling. That includes detecting a pecl folder (for pecl extensions) detecting the php_build (windows libraries) location, and even zipping up the finished product. The snap scrips just do a cvs checkout, set the environment variables for the compiler (this varies for every machine) and then calls buildconf, configure --enable-snapshot-build, and finally nmake snap The finished builds (which the makefile packages) are then ssh'd into place. Is there something you need that a cvs checkout and --enable-snapshot-build can't provide on windows?

I wasn't aware of --enable-snapshot-build - maybe it will do everything I wanted from it, will check. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com --- ## #37529 — Steph Fox — 2008-05-08T00:46:35+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/37520#37529 · In reply to: #37526 > Thanks!

This tries to build every extension available (as shared, by default), but it will ignore build errors in individual extensions or SAPI. " Given the amount of questions this list has been getting over the last weeks about Windows building I would really appreciate if someone of you Windows people could take a look at that manual page and improve it. -Hannes --- ## #37535 — Derick Rethans — 2008-05-08T07:18:52+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/37520#37535 · In reply to: #37529 > > […] > > Maybe we need to re-organize configure --help output to put this kind of info > near the top :) Why? This is something that's not meant for users. The --help output should be for users. Although this --enable-snapshot-build should be there, it might need to go at the bottom under a new heading "Developer Switches" or something. Don't confuse users with switches like this, because they think it will be a good idea to use it (whatever the reason). regards, Derick -- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl | http://ezcomponents.org | http://xdebug.org
