Replying to myself. Builds fixed now but for ApacheMonitor (corrupted resources, as I do not need it now, it will have to wait). You can fetch VC11-x86 builds here http://windows.php.net/downloads/snaps/ostc/vc11_deps/ (apache dir, x86 and x64 contains pre built dependencies for PHP, most of them can or are used for PHP builds). Question: is there any interest to move to makefiles only builds? These dsw (and conversion) brings all kind of issues and are not very flexible. I was thinking about something like what I did for curl: https://github.com/bagder/curl/blob/master/winbuild/BUILD.WINDOWS.txt Alternatively porting the php build script (autoconf-like system, implemented in javascript, using cscript), it is very flexible and allows exact match to what is done using the unix autoconf configure options. Thoughts? Cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye
