On http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ we provide development packages which allow a phpize-configure-nmake workflow similar to the Unix system without building the whole of PHP. Last time I tried this worked nicely. I do not know why that is not done for releases, too. (also follow the link there to http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/ ... not sure why the website has outdated versions ...) And another comparison to the Unix system: we have snaps.php.net which distributes pregenerated parsers for "normal" users and git for people who know what they do and have bison. Also sources from php.net/downloads.php have pregenerated parsers. > BTW: I am now running into another error, but I do not rule out it has > to do with my own setup.
