What is hard in: 1. mkdir c:\phpw32 2. extract a php release in c:\phpw32\php-5.y.z 3. extract the dependencies in c:\phpw32\php_builds 4. run: buildconf.bat configure.bat [option your like to have} nmake
What is hard in it is that this is pretty alien for someone used to working with .dsp files or whatever. Also, under Windows you need to bring the MS headers into play, which means running vcvars. (vc32vars.bat, whatever.) The same thing happens when you use Visual Studio, but you don't see it there because it's disguised as Tools/Options/Directories and obviously is 'just called'. In our setup it needs to be called explicitly, unless the MS headers are already in your PATH. You'll also need to add the path to your PHP libs and headers to vcvars.bat, you can do this via MSVC or manually.
configure.bat has been in 5_3 only for the last few weeks, so that part depends on the PHP version you're building. But buildconf will tell you what to do next anyway.
