I did that yesterday. It compiled fine. See the link that you did not quote: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8954372/php555static.zip There is a snapshot.txt and a phpinfo.htm in this zip with more info. This will not work with the deps in http://windows.php.net/downloads/php-sdk/ because libcurl_a.lib, libssh2_a.lib, ssleay32_a.lib and libeay32_a.lib in those deps all are dependent on libeay32.dll and/or ssleay32.dll. Kevin will have to compile his own libs for SSH2 and SSL if he wants support for those protocols. With those static SSH2/SSL libs he has to recompile Curl to get a fully static libcurl_a.lib. Jan
