windows 2000 + PHP4.10 + gd1.8.4

I am trying to use a PHP script called jpgraph(http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/index.php), but I need GD-1.8.4 installed first. I have read through the documentation on the gd web site (http://www.boutell.com/gd/), and I cannot figure it out. In windows I do not have the slightest idea how to compile the code. I have Visual C++ 6.0, and I have tried to compile it, but it keeps asking for the zlib.h header file. I do not know enough about the compiler to include new static libraries, or dlls. Is there anyway you guys could make a windows binary for me to use or explain in plain english how to do it? I am unfortunately not a very good windows programmer. Here is a list of the files I have donwloaded: GD-1.8.4 PHP-4.10 JPEG-6B ZLIB113 LIBPNG1011 I know I need the zlib, and libpng libraries inorder to compile gd. In the libpng they have a project already started, so I opened it and compiled the code. It created the .lib for libpng, and zlib. Now I think I need the dlls? But I'm not sure, and if I do need them I don't have them. I added the .lib to my library's directory in the ms directory. I try to compile gd.c and it says it can't find zlib.h. I then copied zlib.h(and zconf.h it is included in zlib.h) into the include directory for ms. Then I get the errors: gd.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _gdCalloc gd.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _gdMalloc gd.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _gdFree gd.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _gdSinT gd.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _gdCosT gd.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _gdRealloc I also get warnings about converting doubles to ints. I am lost at this point, any help would be appriciated. I also figured that someone would have create a binary for GD but I cannot find it. Why doesn't PHP include support for gd? It would make life easier (for me hahaha). Thanks for any help, Marc Maniscalco
