I just found out about VC++ Express about a month ago in the while browsing through Sara Goleman's new book with Amazon's Viewer -- was able to see the Windows compile instructions. :-) I discovered there are a few things missing from those instructions, however, after many errors which I was able to fix or work around, luckily. Do you know anything about what to do? Or you'd just be starting from scratch like I was? I'd be glad to try and answer any questions you have -- from what to download first all the way through to your own binary. :-) BTW, I've only compiled the bare CLI version so far; so only built-in extensions, no server APIs, etc. Because my VC++ Express install is missing this one file (I've yet to look into why), I have to make small changes in a couple of PHP's files (simple now that I got used to it :-)) for it to compile. With PHP 6, you also have to download ICU Unicode headers/libraries. AND, I've only downloaded one CVS snapshot of 6's source so far, but it has a fatal error when trying to compile -- I got around that by modifying a couple of the VC++ header files(?!?!), which results in tons and tons of warnings, but the build seems to work fine -- though I'm only really using the functions whose source I'm playing with. :-) I was going to put something online about my Windows compiling experiences, but haven't gotten to it yet. Anyway, feel free to ask, and I'll try to answer ASAP! > Thanks, > > Richard Quadling.
