Hi, I rewrote the part in the phpdoc manual about building on windows. zlib is builtin with 4.3.0 but the shipped Workspace for VC++ relies on a precompilded external zlib.lib. Therefore building on win32, out of the box, is not possible without downloading zlib sources, compiling them and either modify the workspace or figure out where to place zlib.lib. Two points: 1.) In the released 4.3.0 source dist, the workspace points to ../../zlib, 2.) for example snapshot php4-STABLE-200301241430 points to ../../zlib/Release This is hard to document.... 1.) Are there future plans to include the zlib sources? 2.) Should users be advised to modify config.win32.h.in 3.) Should users be advised to download zlib sources, building zlib.lib? Thanks for any thoughts, suggestions, corrections.... Regards Friedhelm Betz
