I trust I can append those to the appropriate environment variable using the command line.

I'm running this version of the compiler: Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 13.00.9466 for 80x86 I don't think I have any additional SDK's installed right now other than the Microsoft .NET Framework, but I could be mistaken.

You need to build resolv.lib if you're going to check out the bindlib_w32 source directory. The compiled library is not stored in cvs. -- Jon Parise (jon@php.net) :: The PHP Project (http://www.php.net/)
