#50779 [Opn->Sus]: README.WIN32-BUILD-SYSTEM is outdated

ID: 50779 Updated by: bjori@php.net Reported By: zippy1981 at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Suspended Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.3.1 New Comment: We don't understand the build requirements or system. You have to ask the Microsoft guys to update that file. http://no.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.building.php was one of our best Windows know-how (not-microsoft-employee) guy shot at documenting the process, but the feedback he got from Microsoft employees was "this is crap. its all wrong". Sorry, we simply do not know how to do this.

I asked on the php windows mailing list (http://news.php.net/php.windows/29806) and was told I was building it using outdated directions. I was told the correct way to build it was here (http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild). Can README.WIN32-BUILD-SYSTEM be updated to refer to the new dependencies? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50779&edit=1
