Description:
------------
The "new" configure-like build system for win32 is not covered by the docs.
I think we need detailed documentation about how to build php from source on win32.
Important, as of php5 the supplied .dsp-Files for VC6 are not well maintainded.

I think everything is now documented.
Please read it (after the next manual build) and let me know of any errors/omissions.

Nuno, thanks for putting that together.
It would be helpful, to have a section about requirements which answers the question: "What tools/software/updates/ etc. do I need to build php5 with the new build system?"
I remember, Wez has posted requirements some time ago to internals.
A requirements section would be definitly helpful.

isn't http://php.net/install.windows.building#install.windows.building.requirement enough??
you only need a windows system :) and Visual Studio (6 or .Net), either a free (sdk, whatever) or a commercial version.

No it's too vague, at least for me ;-)

So, what is whatever? What do I need to build *php5*? Commercial vc6, Vc7, or is there a possibility to build with a free one, and if so what tools/free sdk's are required?

Another quote from the online version:
"To compile and build PHP you need a Microsoft Development Environment. Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 is recommended, although .NET versions will also work."
Is vc6 sufficient to build php5 with the new build system?

Don't get me wrong, but I think this sort of questions should be clear from the requirements section. 
Answers for this questions are not covered by the current requirement section.
Thanks
Friedhelm

I still need to take a look into the free tools (I think they don't work for PHP 4)

It is always good to provide several alternatives.
 [2005-11-30 21:33 UTC] nlopess@php.net 
Should be ok now.
