PHP 4 win build system questions

||*()*|| Greetings, phpinnards.. =) I tried to automate build system for PHP 4 a bit and after that can't get some stupid questions out of my head. Install instructions located as usual http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.building.php There are at least two inconveniences: 1. Need to copy bison.sample from win32build\bin to c:\usr\local\lib 2. Need to recompile resolv.lib every time target changes So the questions are the following 1.1 Why not to get rid of this bison.sample copy operation either by 1.1.1 upgrade bison.exe in win32build.zip from 1.27 to at least 1.34, which adds -S options to specify bison.sample explicitly and also includes some memory leak fixes http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=274058 or 1.1.2 set up environment variable BISON_SIMPLE somewhere in build files/scripts? 2.1 Why resolv.lib needs to be recompiled every time when target changes from "debug" to "release" and vice versa 2.1.1 Why it is not possible to supply a separate resolv_debug.lib and resolv_release.lib files in win32build.zip and rewrite dependencies for them in windows build files? Thanks. .techtonik --
