Folks,
I would like to have people tried the new updated buildconf, configure
script files created with the new PHP 5.3 and the PECL2 libraries in mind.
I prepared a web page for this PHP work effort:
http://beta.winserver.com/public/phpdev
I prepared some zips so this can previewed and tested independently
before we create patches, if acceptable of course. :-)
Overall, the new configure makes it easy for the new comer to better
grasp the PHP building framework. Understand what is on and whats
requires, and what is off and not required. Better error reporting and
summaries are created too of the link libraries. It also has a little
internal "make" where it informs you when any of the config.w32 are
newer and a new BUILDCONF is required. Some bugs were fixed which the
most prevalent was making sure match header files and libraries were
found in the proper location. Depending on your layouts, there were
mixes of headers and libraries. This should all be fixed now.
Of course, comments are welcome and expected.
I hope this work is acceptable and I'm giving the go head to finalize it.
Thanks
