My motivation to remove some components from PHP came from my problems installing it on Windows.
A few days ago I tried to install a version of our software on a Windows NT machine. It was the old NT4 pl 1.
PHP wasn't able to run because the OLEAUT32.dll was older than the version required by PHP, and it missed the exported symbol 77 or something.
Then I started trying to remove the OLE/COM support, but I haven't succeeded yet.
I'm compiling PHP with Visual Dev Studio's Visual C 6.
I can get it to compile perfectly. But when I choose to remove COM from it, the PHP4TS crashes.
I wasn't able to find information about configuring and compiling PHP on Windows. On Unix it's easy, but how can I ./configure PHP on Windows?
