Also sources from >php.net/downloads.php have pregenerated parsers. It would be really handy if there were phpize-configure-nmake packages for Windows releases as well. Pierre recently asked me why I always build PHP completely with all the extensions. Answers: (1) old habits never die and (2) that way I get an instant check the extensions build and load. I now realize there is an equally important answer (3) I want to be sure I use exactly the same sources for the extensions as for the released PHP. >> BTW: I am now running into another error, but I do not rule out it has >> to do with my own setup. I tracked down the cause to the *.h files of libxml2 2.9.1. I upgraded my libxml, when I saw you were using 2.9.1 in PHP 5.5. But the include files are not VC10 and VC11 compatible. I will take a look at github/winlibs how you handle this. >> Are you using Update 2 of VC11? >> >> http://blogs.msdn.com/b/somasegar/archive/2013/04/04/visual-studio-2012-update-2-now-available.aspx This question was a general question. The first 5.5 RC's were made public before Update 2 of VC11. They must have been build with Update 1. Are the official builds now compiled by VC2012.2?
