Compile PHP4 in WinNT

Anon

How can I do this?
is it possible to compile with Apache ?

There's no such word as "compile" under Windows =). You have to download a binary distribution that's already been compiled for you. php.net's downloads feature a nice list of Windows binaries.

I don't know what this guy is talking about...there most certainly is a way to compile php for win32. Johnnie Rose, Jr. how do you think you get a binary? Anyways...goto http://www.php.net/version4/win32build.php
it explains exactly how...although you might not have VC6, I do, and I still can't compile it under Win32, I get an error executing cl.exe....but you might have better luck.

Good luck,

I have found a great tutorial that helped me set up PHP4 with Apache 1.3.

After about 3 miscues this site explained it and it worked in a flash. Real easy step by step. better than the PHP sites.

She wrote a great starter book

Go to thickbook.com and look up under tutorials or how to install.

My problem is: I can't get PHP to work with IIS server and would like to.

Any one

What I meant by not being able to compile was that if you download a tarball from php.net to your Windows system, unzip it with Winzip, and then try to compile (using MAKE) in a DOS window, nothing will happen.

Of course you can download tools that will let you compile C just as easily as downloading the Java compiler...they're just not native to Windows. So someone else has to compile it for you, hence the downloadable binary.

There is no MAKE in win/dos. You can compile source using M$ Visual C++, if you have it. I'd like to try compiling my own php/apache eventually, but for now I'll stick with the binaries.

Hi!

I do have M$ VC++. but I allways get compile errors.

there are some files I supouse are the project/desktop files, but I didn't realise how to use them.

How do I especify the oncompile options?

-withapache ?

I'm trying to compile the latest CVS
