Building PHP 5.2.8 under Windows

Hello all. I am trying to build PHP 5.3.8 under Windows XP SP3. I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio V6, SP6 as specified here: http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/compiler. I have installed the Windows Platform SDK V6.1 as specified here: http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/windowssdk and downloaded from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e6e1c3df-a74f-4207- 8586-711ebe331cdc <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e6e1c3df-a74f-4207 -8586-711ebe331cdc&displaylang=en#Overview> &displaylang=en#Overview. I have downloaded the binary tools from http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/php-libs/binary-tools.zip as specified here: http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild. I have a directory tree thus: - C:\PhpDev\ - php-5.2.8\ - (PHP 5.2.8 source tree from http://us2.php.net/get/php-5.2.8.tar.gz/from/a/mirror. - php_build\ - bison.exe - bison.simple - flex.exe - re2c.exe - zip.exe - bin\ - (libiconv, libxml2, and zlib dlls and related) - include\ - arpa\ - conf\ - freetype\ - limxml\ - named\ - sys - (ft2build.h, iconv.h, etc.) - lib\ -( freetype_a.lib, icnov.lib, etc.) Following the instructions at http://screencast.com/t/lSIaPpkLG I opened a command window, ran the vcvars32.bat, CDd to C:\PhpDev\php-5.2.8, ran buildconf.bat, and issued cscript /nologo configure.js. Note: C:\PhpDev\php_build is in the path. The output from configure.js is: Saving configure options to config.nice.bat Checking for cl.exe ... <in default path> Checking for cl.exe ... <in default path> Detected MS compiler version 12 Detected 32-bit compiler Checking for link.exe ...

I have spent the last few hours searching the web and trying various things, all with no apparent effect. I have been to the step-by-step guide on the Wiki (http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild). Unfortunately, the actual setup portion hasn't been written yet. That section says ". to be written". Help will be most appreciated. Thanks in advance, Dave
