build PHP from source code in Windows?

[jiehuang001]

I am trying to follow the instruction at http://www7b.software.ibm.com/dmdd/library/techarticle/scott/0614_scott.html to install PHP with DB2. However, the platform used at this instruction is Linux while my computer is Windows.

This instruction tells to use the following command to change the configuration:
bash$ ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs \
--with-ibm-db2=/home/db2inst1/sqllib --sysconfdir=/etc
I think I can just edit these entries in the configure file.

Then this instruction tells to use the make command to compile PHP:
bash$ make > make.out
How can I do this in Windows?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi,

AFAIK the windows php version already comes with dbase support. You might have to enable the extension by uncommenting the line

;extension=php_dbase.dll

remove the ;
