Hi!
Now, when we're at it, my experience with MSVC and Windows command line
tools is almost none. I tried to build PHP 5.3 with it, but the guide on
PHP website has some errors (some stuff just isn't where it says it is,
and it seems some steps are skipped. Also, the 'configure' script used
for MSVC fails to detect that those things are missing). Where should I
report such problems? (Is this list appropriate for such questions)?
In general, building PHP on windows should be as easy as on Unix, not
requiring any special knowledge of the tools, meaning:
1. Get environment with MSVC set up
2. Get external libraries (recommended to put them in same upper-level
dir as php checkout)
3. Run buildconf
4. Run cscript configure.js --options
5. Run nmake
6. Enjoy your PHP build
If something doesn't work along the way, most probably some library is
missing or wrong version, etc. There's now dedicated windows list
[EMAIL PROTECTED], which might be a better place for
discussing it, but in any case description of the error message would help.
