I'm not familiar enough with the architecture of PHP to fully understand your comment. When you say module, to me that means *.dll. However, my error occurs when the linker is trying to link a library, zlib.lib. The relevant details are in the /win32/php4dllts.dsp project which is part of the /win32/php4ts.dsw workspace. I'm trying to build php4ts.dsw as per /manual/en/install.windows.php#install.windows.build.
Given the linker error I get, I'm looking for zlib.lib which I don't see anywhere. Mind you, is there a search function for cvs.php.net? I had to look by randomly rooting around. The zlib project (/ext/zlib/zlib.dsp) builds php_zlib.dll so that is not it. Some external libraries are included in /extra/win32build.zip, and the above instructions even have us build an additional resolv.lib, but there is no sign of zlib.lib. I've tried this with both the PHP 4.3.1 (tar.gz) [4,395Kb] - 17 February 2003 and a PHP snapshot Latest CVS (4.5.x-dev). Same problem with both. But I'm not sure if the problem is my machine configuration, or an error in the MS VC++ workspace / project details. John ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank M.
