Forget about compiling, use binaries instead. Cygwin is only necessary for
Unix-application for which no Win32 Port exists (e.g. postgresql), but
apache and php can run in native mode on win32. Instead of including all
this --with- options in your compilation, just enable the desired
extensions in your php.ini. I think compilation is only necessary if you
have some very special needs, that are not included in the normal Win32
binaries.
The following worked for my system (Win2000 and Apache3.1.22):
1) Download Windows binaries php-4.1.2-installer.exe and
php-4.1.2-Win32.zip
from www.php.net
2) Don't try to install php from the zip but use the exe to install php
without extensions as cgi-executable. This will put all standard dlls to
the right place and
do some registry entries.
3) Unpack the zip and copy the extensions folder to your php install
directory (e.g. c:\webserver\php)
There a precompiled php_gd.dll is contained with support for jpeg,
png,
freetype2, ttf
4) Edit php.ini which resides in %Windir%
Locate the paths and directories section and make entries similar to
below:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Paths and Directories ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
include_path=; UNIX: "/path1:/path2" Windows: "\path1;\path2"
doc_root=; the root of the php pages, used only if nonempty
user_dir=; the directory under which php opens the script using
/~username
; directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside
extension_dir=c:\webserver\php\EXTENSIONS
extension=php_gd.dll
extension=php_zlib.dll
enable_dl=On
I am not sure about dependencies, but it may be that for png support zlib
is
necessary (at least when compiling it in unix), so it may be good to
enable
php_zlib.dll too.
5) Configurate and restart your webserver
eg. for apache in httpd.conf:
# Path to PHP.EXE directory -- change ScriptAlias to suit your config.
# Attention: Paths are unix style with slash not backslash, even on
# Windows-PCs
ScriptAlias /php4/ "c:/webserver/php"
Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php4/php.exe"
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php3
DirectoryIndex index.html default.htm index.php index.php3
6) Check installation by a script containing
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
The output should contain a section:
gd
GD Support enabled
GD Version 1.6.2 or higher
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with TTF library
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
I hope this helps.
