If you just want to test patches and stuff and are not interested in running a *nix system (at least inside some kind of virtual machine/vmware/colinux like manner) you can still use cygwin for building PHP.
AFAIR, using cygwin in this case isn't supported nor working.
To the original poster: Do you really need PHP 4? - The build system introduced with PHP 5 make life way simpler - and PHP 4 is from the stone-age...
Yes, I really do need to build PHP4 from the source. Actually my need is very rare and specific. I test Phalanger (PHP compiler for .NET) and need to build some missing extension for it. Of course, before that I need development libraries from PHP. Fortunately, Phalanger permits us to develop managed (in terms of .NET) wrapper for any third-party PHP extension, but unfortunately it does support PHP4 extensions only. Besides, it was very interesting to know how to build PHP on Windows. I never ever had any problems with that in Linux/FreeBSD, and was amazed how it's cumbersome in Windows.
