I am using Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2015 Community. I am trying to build PHP using:
Build your own PHP on Windows
https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild
Step 6 of "Setup the build directory" (summarized) says:
"Extract the PHP source code to |C:\php-sdk\phpdev\*vc##*\*x##*|"
....
"For example: C:\php-sdk\phpdev\vc11\x86\php-5.6.4-src"
The pattern |C:\php-sdk\phpdev\*vc##*\*x##*| omits the lowest-level "php-5.6.4-src". Are there any requiremnens for what must be used for that sub-directory name? I assume not.
I can understand it is a good suggestion to provide the PHP version in the name, especially if multiple versions are being maintained in a system. Do the build scripts require it? I assume we can use whatever seems appropriate for us instead of "php-5.6.4-src".
