Hi, who can provide some help for compiling PHP 5.0.3 with cygwin (on Windows NT)? Because there is a hint for cygwin users in the chapter "Building from source" in the PHP manual (http://www.php.net/manual/de/install.windows.building.php) building with cygwin should be possible.
- The first problem I have: I don't know how to build resolve.lib. The only way given in the manual is by using msdev, but cygwin doesn't know msdev. - Second: I have some doubts that it works with cygwin to put bindlib_w32, php-5.0.3 and win32build simply under some directory and this directory, for instance the directory "work", under the home directory ~. Does cygwin search the files in these directories without any configuration? Usually the lib files should be in cygwin/lib and the bin files in cygwin/bin. - Third: ./configure cancels with Configure: error: can not find install-sh or install.sh in . ./.. ./../.. The php-5.0.3 directory does not contain an install-sh or install.sh file but an install file. I simply renamed this file to install.sh but I am not sure if this is the right way because usually it should work without changing anything in the source tree. - Fourth: After renaming install to install.sh, ./configure and make finishes with OK but make install fails with Signal 11 make[1]: *** [install-pear-installer] Error 139 make: *** [install-pear] Error 2 A reference to a webpage dealing with the compilation of PHP with cygwin would be very helpful, but I didn't find any yet. Perhaps a programmer can provide some explanation ... Thanks for any help.
