Can someone give me a step by step tutorial on how to compile the PHP
source tree on a Windows XP Pro machine?
For a background, I have mostly programmed in VB6, C# and VB.NET. I
understand the syntax of the following languages, but have not used
the tools around these (such as editors, make files, ant etc.):
C, C++, Ruby, Python, Common Lisp & Scheme, Java, PHP.
Help will be much appreciated.

First of all, before going through that, why would you like to compile
from source? The installer is pretty neat for Windows...

I just spotted a file in the root of the source tree, that has the
instructions for building PHP source on a Windows machine. The file
name is README.WIN32-BUILD-SYSTEM. It is very well written.
Any other developer who may want to try it out may do so. I am going
to try it.
It also has an email address to write to if one encounters any
problems in building. The email address is: internals at lists dot php
dot net.

I already have the installer and have already installed PHP and have
been practicing since morning. Have read some of the manual as well. I
want to try geeking out by building from the source.

Ah, well, I see you've got your answer, so good luck to you. I myself try
to be lazy if I can :P.
