win32 build system and VS .NET

Hi Everyone:

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm still not there. I tad more help will be
appreciated, please. First I'll reply to your points then supply the
latest list of commands I tried.

cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository co -d php5\bindlib_w32
bindlib_w32

cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository co bindlib_w32
(e.g. parallel to the php5 directory)

Hmm... Then what's the purpose of the bindlib_w32 subdirectories in the
php-src tree? Should be removed from CVS for clarity?

So, it looks like Visual Studio .NET isn't going to cut it, huh?

It works fine for me. I've been using it all day (building on the
command line and debugging in the IDE).

Have you ever installed an earlier version of Visual Studio or header
files from somewhere else too? Doing the
"cscript /nologo configure.js..." step for me complains, in part, about
mscoree.h being missing.

Looks like you need to get the resolv.lib replacement
and win32 buildtools at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php#install.windows.build.

Isn't that what I did?

Have you configured VC to look for the bin, lib, and
include directories in the win32build folder?

Nope. This looks like an important step that I'm missing. I trust I can
append those to the appropriate environment variable using the command
line. What's the environment variable in question, please?

As Jon suggested, taking bindlib_w32 from CVS rather than from the build zip
makes more sense. 1. the build zip isn't up to date unless someone fixed
this over the past week

I thought I did that. Okay, so here's my latest attempt:

d:
cd
mkdir php5

mkdir php5\win32
mkdir php5\win32\build
cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository co -d phpbuild
php-src/win32/build
xcopy phpbuild php5\win32\build

cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository co bindlib_w32
cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository co php5

cd php5

lynx -dump http://www.php.net/extra/win32build.zip > win32build.zip
unzip win32build.zip

buildconf.bat
cscript /nologo configure.js --without-gd --without-libxml --disable-zlib
--without-iconv

Which outputs...
