Ok, to spell it out one last time: If windows support cannot be provided in 5.3, there is a good chance that this will increase the likelihood that interbase driver will soon be out of PHP core, even if it still works on Linux. Also to remind you once again, our windows guy has gone missing and we are rebuilding things from scratch for 5.3. If this is not enough of a problem to fix, then so be it.

I've obviously missed something .... If there is a problem simply providing a windows build of PHP5.x then that is a different matter. Still not saying I can help - but I have already spent some time having another look at doing my own Windows builds. It looks like the same problem I have with my own Firebird builds though ... need M$ tools to do the job :( I have an older windows server that is running as backup at present which I could safely load some of the M$ stuff on - if it will work on W2k .....

OK fell at first hurdle :( Two notes on Windows Building from source page 1/ Links only work from IE Browser - or at least to get a download to start 2/ Express will only install on XP or Vista Both XP machines here have Builder Development suites I can't risk damaging :(

But I'd prefer to stay inside my safety zone ..... Back to doing this on cygwin .....
