need help building php on windows

Hi all,

I'm having trouble compiling PHP 5.2.5 using Visual C 6 (SP6).

I have (to the best of my knowledge) followed the tips/instructions
on the following two pages:

http://news.php.net/php.windows/28659 (the black text, not green)
http://php.mirror.camelnetwork.com/manual/en/install.windows .building.php

I can get most of php to build (albeit with a lot of warnings) using
the snapshot build option, however the two extensions that won't
build are the two I need:

php_mssql.dll (less important)
php_dblib.dll (the one I'm really after)

The reason for the build is to compile a php_dblib.dll using the new
RC code of FreeTDS as we are seeing some strange errors using the
pre-built dblib.dll from http://kromann.info (which I believe to be
built using FreeTDS 0.63 from 2005?).

Here's the compile error I'm getting:

main\internal_functions.c(69) : error C2065: 'phpext_dblib_ptr' :
undeclared identifier
main\internal_functions.c(69) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"cl.exe"' : return code '0x2'

Can anyone who has built this DLL on windows shed any light?

TIA
Jason

Actually I haven't been able to get the dblib version of the mssql
extension building on windows either but don't have the time to tackle
it at the moment - you can try building it with JUST dblib or JUST
mssql, I know building both at the same time leads to weirdnesses

To be honest, I can't actually get either of the mssql variants to
compile properly. Specifically I can compile the MS mssql dll, but
can't link it (unresolved external _in6addr_any in php5ts.dll).

I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm missing some little
"not-widely-documented" file location or ENV var. setting. It's
always the little things :/

I notice from your post I linked to, that I should use nmake.exe from
the SDK - but I could only find an x64 variant included, so I'm using
the VisStudio6 SP6 version - would this be a possible cause?

TIA
Jason

Yeah, a little embarassing - I forgot to run SetVars.bat from the
SDK. Sorted that.

Even so, doing the following doesn't reveal a new php_mssql.dll:

cscript configure.js --with-mssql
nmake

I don't get a link error, but neither do I get a php_mssql.dll. I do
get new php_gd2.dll though :)

Hmmm, that unresolved external _in6addr_any in php5ts.dll is an ipv6
error - you can --disable-ipv6 or check to make sure you have the sdk
include and lib paths set up right
