"configure" not doing anything and file not found

I'm trying to compile PHP version 4.0.4pl1 (module and/or cgi) on my windows 98 system using Microsoft Visuall C++, and I have two "little" problems. For one thing, doing anything like this in my DOS prompt: ./configure ./configure --with-mysql configure /configure et al ...returns: Bad command or file name. I've heard that means that "Dev Tools" aren't on my system, which is why "make" or "make install" didn't do anything. But I installed cygwin utilities and UnxUtils. I also have Active Perl installed on my system. So what do I need to do to get such commands to do what they are supposed to? And I'm not sure if this is related, but when I try to compile the source code as an apache module I get: fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: 'C:\php-4.0.4pl1\Zend\zend_language_scanner.cpp': No such file or directory Seing as how there are no .cpp files in the source code from php.net, I imagine it would be hard to find that file ;) I'm using this article for instruction: http://www.mm4.de/php4win/article.php3?id=2&language=en -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.
