# New PHP SDK for Windows - Thread: https://externals.io/message/96677 - Original archive: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/96677 - Started by Anatol Belski on 2016-10-31T17:01:36+00:00 - Messages: 4 - Reply by email to internals@lists.php.net - More for agents: search with https://externals.io/search.md?q={query} · JSON API at https://externals.io/api · documentation at https://externals.io/llms.txt --- ## #96677 — Anatol Belski — 2016-10-31T17:01:36+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/96677#96677 Hi, I'm working on the new Windows PHP SDK. So far, some usable alpha state is reached. It is compatible with PHP-7.0 and the current SDK and contains additional new features. The essential changes in the new SDK are - starter scripts included, making the environment setup easier - updated tools, including bison 3.0.2 - more tools including sed, awk and others based on MSYS2 - new tool for dependency update automation The current state is reachable under https://github.com/OSTC/php-sdk-binary-tools/tree/new_binary_tools I would like to call everyone interested to please check and provide feedback and PRs. Other useful tools can be invented on the base of the new SDK. Production usage is not yet recommended, but the more feedback is there - the closer it'll be. The plan is to replace the current PHP SDK with the new one in foreseable future for PHP 7 builds, maybe also to backport for the 5.x tree. This also correlates with the upcoming AppVeyor integration, and both tasks in general are directed to improve the QA and experience situation when building PHP on Windows. Please check more on the github README page. If some tool is missing or is worth it to be implemented, please create a ticket. A new step-by-step-build wiki page will also need to be created, once the new SDK was considered stable. I would also ask to migrate the linked repository to git.php.net, meanwhile the PR can be accepted on the OSTC repository page. Thanks Anatol --- ## #96922 — Christoph M.

I still hadn't had the time to have a closer look at the new SDK, but finally managed to at least quickly check it out – it looks very promising.

For about two months already, all the AppVeyor builds use the new SDK, the current master snapshots use it as well. Many people reported good experiences with it, some bugs were fixed and more improvements was made. At this point, I've also started to adapt the documentation https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild_sdk_2 and the actual plan for the next 2-3 weeks is - move the further development into the master of php-sdk-binary-tools - if someone from systems has time, still please add this repo to git.php.net - do a stable release of the binary tools 2.0.0 - make PHP 7.2 to require the new binary tools and solve https://github.com/OSTC/php-sdk-binary-tools/issues/1 I'd appreciate any help with the wiki doc page. Some quite exhaustive information is also available on the SDK's own readme page in the git repo, which might make less sense to be duplicated on the wiki. Still, I could miss something, so any review is useful. Any further tests on the SDK itself were ofc welcome, too.

Further integration with PHP master, PECL build bot and other build tools is happening next. The documentation is available in the github repository and on the new wiki page https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild_sdk_2 Regards Anatol
