win32 build system and VS .NET

Greetings: I obtained a copy of Visual Studio .NET and tried to build PHP 5 from the current source. Ran into some problems when it came to the configure.js step. Here are the steps I took... Start VS .NET command prompt mkdir php5 mkdir php5\win32 mkdir php5\win32\build [Obtain zip from http://www.php.net/extra/win32build.zip] unzip f:\php\win32build--2004.01.02.zip -d php5 cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository co -d php5\bindlib_w32 bindlib_w32 cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository co -d phpbuild php-src/win32/build xcopy phpbuild php5\win32\build cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository co -d php5 php-src cd php5 buildconf.bat cscript /nologo configure.js --without-gd --without-libxml --disable-zlib --without-iconv Saving configure options to config.nice.bat Checking for cl.exe ... <in default path> Checking for link.exe ... <in default path> Checking for nmake.exe ... <in default path> Checking for lib.exe ... <in default path> Checking for bison.exe ... <not found> Checking for flex.exe ... <not found> Checking for re2c.exe ... <not found> Checking for zip.exe ... <in default path> Checking for lemon.exe ... <not found> Checking for arpa\nameser.h ... <not found> Checking for arpa\nameser.h ... <not found> ERROR: We really need that arpa\nameser.h file - it is part of the win32build package So, it looks like Visual Studio .NET isn't going to cut it, huh? Also, what's up with arpa\namser.h not being found? --Dan -- T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y data intensive web and database programming http://www.AnalysisAndSolutions.com/ 4015 7th Ave #4, Brooklyn NY 11232 v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
