Re: Building an extension on windows

Hi, I'm told to build an PHP extension on windows to be used with PHP 5.2.9. What do I need for this purpose? Is there anywhere a manual telling me what to do for this purpose? I'm using Visual Studio 2008. Must I get the source files from PHP 5.2.9 to do this? Do I need to build PHP my self to get the lib files needed for linking, or where do I get them from? If I must build PHP my self, where can I find instructions how to do that?
