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.
