Re: [PHP4BETA] Win32 Build problems.

It was recently broken... The problem has to do with the way that Windows handles DLLs. Inside of one of the functions, there is a call to what was once ALLOC_PVAL. This has been changed to ALLOC_ZVAL. ALLOC_ZVAL is a macro which invokes a macro which invokes ALS_FETCH (another macro) which accesses global data (alloc_globals_id). The rules of Windows DLLs prevent direct accessing of global data from another DLL without a lot of special incantations - in fact, the generally accepted practice is to only access such data through specially exported functions, encapsulated via mechanisms like PHPAPI. >I have followed the build instructions, as close as was possible, and >with a little tweak here and there got the php.exe to build OK. Let me know what tweaks were required, and I'll update the build instructions...
