[PHP-CVS] cvs: php-src /win32 time.c

Wez,

Great work. When do you expet to release that ?

• Fank

I put it there in anticipation of adding symbols from libxml2 and
iconv.
However, I have been working on a new build system for win32 that
should
(hopefully) solve most problems provided that you have windows script
host
installed.

It will also remove the dependency on Visual Studio (the IDE), so that
you only need the MS compiler tools (freely available with the win32
platform SDK).

--Wez.

Hi Steph,

I don't see any resons why the builddef.bat should'nt run on win98. It
is
a very simple file. I do think that the @echo off statement should be
moved to the top of the file though. All output is redirected to the
phpts.def file, and this include the comments with the current
configuration.

It would also be possible to get rid of this file all together and
just
code this in the dsp file.

Because win98 supports the functions we want to use (while win95
does not).
And the build system has nothing to do with the runtime support
:)

Agreed, but sooner or later it will.. Andi, why (specifically) did
Zend
drop win98 support?

The PHP5 build system doesn't work because batch files created for
w2k
and
friends don't work on dos.. that's the only reason currently,
it's
still
possible to build on win98 so long as you run a bunch of stuff from
the
commandline first.
