it should not load these DLLs at all or not even try to. They are not enchant 
plugin.

It looks like a config issue in the tests box or a patch is missing in enchant.

@a did you add the patch or built enchant without it?

We have multiple issues here

a)

as I could see, there are more dlls it tries to load (both 5.4.13RC1 and 5.5.0alpha6)

Looking at the libenchant.dll

c:\snaps\php-5.4.13RC1-Win32-VC9-x86>dumpbin /imports libenchant.dll | find "dll"
Dump of file libenchant.dll
    glib-2.dll
    gmodule-2.dll
    KERNEL32.dll
    ADVAPI32.dll
    MSVCR90.dll

there are no ICU, and in any case very odd are all that apache dlls and nsapi. That looks like a build config issue with VC9. NSAPI is even disabled by default AFAIR. We wasn't upgrading neither glib nor enchant for VC9, for VC11 I've built glib with gettext, libffi and zlib, enchant with glib only as deps.


b)

Generally some of enchant tests need dict files and will fail otherwise. Also in the VC11 builds enchant was changed so that it looks for libenchant_ispell.dll and libenchant_myspell in the enchant subdir, not in php root dir anymore. And the dict files can be put into <php bin dir>\share\myspell\dicts or loaded with enchant_broker_set_dict_path() (that function is undocumented yet). These changes have to be met for VC11 builds. After doing that the ext loaded and the tests was passing for me.


c)

VC9 icu*.dll without 49 suffix seems to be broken. That however doesn't affect anything, the import libs point to those dll with 49 suffix (the intl ext for instance). This issue is unrelated to this ticket.

Ok, my bits to a) are wrong. libenchant.dll looks for the plugins in the current dir - <php dir> in this case. That's why I couldn't find any linkage to those dll's in libenchant.dll. I'll patch and rebuild libenchant for the VC9 deps.

dll are rebuild and work when correct configured, as discussed in bug #64593
