--with-ereg

Folks, From the example build at: http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.building.php where it shows the options for a minimal build: --disable-all --enable-cli --enable-cgi --enable-object-out-dir=. --disable-ipv6. I've been using this to test basic quick/basic building and it works fine for PHP 5.2. For PHP 5.3, you get browscap.obj linking errors. I don't understand what ereg does, but I found I had to add the option: --with-ereg After buildconf.bat and running configure.js wit the options, and deleting

    del release_ts\ext\standard\brows*.*
    rd release_ts\ext\ereg /q /s

and it will make and create fine. (BTW, this was a x64 vc8 minimal build). Is this option a new required minimal build option that should be forced? Again, i don't know what this ereg stuff does so I can't tell the importance of it or how to fix it, other than adding the above switch. Thanks -- Hector Santos
