RE: [PHP4BETA] compiling for win32

Has anyone tried compiling PHP with GNU MingW32? It is a version of the GNU C/C++ tools which links to the C/C++ runtime built into Windows. (Unlike GNU CygWin32 which links to a Unix emulator library on Windows. And, segfaults more often than not.) I would be curious to know if PHP compiles at all with it. I prefer MSVC to anything on Windows. It is extremely nice, however, somewhat prohibitively priced for low budget folks. I am extremely fortunate to have MSVC 5, I kind'a fell into that deal. According to what little I have read, MingW32 has all of the common GNU C/C++ tools and produces output as stable as MSVC. It doesn't compile GNUish code, it requires the same porting as MSVC. It is designed to be a cheap MSVC-like Windows compiler. I've not tried to compile any code at all with it. I just haven't taken the time to setup the appropriate environment variables and whatnot. ,David Norris World Wide Web - http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/1652/ Home Computer - http://illusionary.tzo.cc/ Page via mail - 412039@pager.mirabilis.com ICQ Universal Internet Number - 412039 E-Mail - kg9ae@geocities.com
