5.2 does not support this SDK.

If you like to compile PHP yourself easily, please use 5.3 and follow these instructions:

The decision to use 5.2.12 was a conscious one - I have reasons not to want 5.3. Why is the bug bogus? I followed the instructions that were in the tarball and got any error due to a missing file. When you say "does not support this SDK", what SDK are you referring to? Given what you have said this still seems to be a bug in the build environment or a bug in the documentation.

I closed it as it is not bug, you miss the header/lib which are not part of the SDK.

For 5.2, you need:
- Visual C++ 6 (SP6 only)
- SDK 2003/02, see http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/windowssdk

And the header you miss is part of the bindlib, find the VC6 version here:
http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/php-libs/VC6/x86/

As explained in the wiki.

Thanks for the extra details. The README.WIN32-BUILD-SYSTEM is a lot less clear than the wiki entry on building 5.3. I can now see where I went wrong and the error message is actually very informative,... Mea Culpa,.. apologies for the spurious report.

For those who follow,... if you read this bug report you almost certainly want to check out:

I wonder how to say that without repeating myself.

No, you don't want this outdated file, and no, the README is not correct.
