Shit happens as one likes to say. Anyway, it does not make 5.3.3 less stable or bad, and given the amount of complains about firebird (except Lester, who does it endlessly since 5.3.0), it is not a big deal. > Yeah, but building php or the extensions is not the easiest thing to do, on > linux you just type apt-get install php5-extension or pecl install > extension, but for windows: > - pecl install doesn't work on windows (obviously) > - http://pecl4win.php.net/ -> The pecl4win build box is temporarily out of > service. // Temporary my ass. :/ > - setting up a (free) build environment for php on windows is PITA. at least > that was it, when I did last time. > there are multiple how-to, but almost all of them is outdated. I think you really need two things: - Read the answers I gave you already - Read the doc, build PHP or PHP extensions on Windows is very easy. To get the right libs or build non compatible lib is not, but that's not something we can fix easily.

Same for Enchant for example, or other libs.
