Hey thanx and congratulations for this great tutorial. I just can't believe that php.net's people don't give such detailed instructions as yours! Anyway, I'm not pretty sure where to unzip the contents of zip.zip The contents of zip.zip contains in the first level the dev/ folder. If I extracted the contents of the php source files to c:\php, the zip.zip content should be on c:\php\dev ? Thank you again! Hello Elizabeth. Hey thanx and congratulations for this great tutorial.

Rather VCE2008 automatically detects when a Windows SDK is installed for Vista using a path check (see vcvars32.bat) and sets up the relevant environment as needed. I checked and the VCE2008 version of the integration document is inaccurate (marked pre-release version) and does not apply to the final version of VCE2008 for those two files - this threw me for a bit :). In case you go looking VCE2008 already includes v6.0A of the Windows SDK - but it will use v6.0 (the typical Vista SDK) when it's installed. So apply the winres.h fix there. You may need to restart your PC once (or even twice after the SDK install for this to work) and of course make sure to register VCE2008. Now sure why it fails the first one or two times yet on my machine (you get that telling error about an invalid "-h" option). I noticed registration failed the first two attempts which might have caused the issue. Another observation is that I'm compiling without .NET Framework SDK 2.0 - maybe Elizabeth knows where the .NET SDK is required specifically. VCE2008 installs .NET Framework 3.5 but that's not the SDK so probably nothing relevant. Haven't done much compiling yet so it may be I've not hit something requiring the .NET SDK. Finally. Using VCE2005 I had an error in network.h in the main dir of the php source code. The error does not occur when building a PHP 5.3 snapshot of the source code. It seems specific to PHP 5.2.x versions. This error is apparently also specific to Windows Vista using the current Windows SDK For Vista Update.

What "bad things" can be expected by my commenting out that line do you know? Waiting to get back home so I can re-compile with a few more extensions and run PHP's tests.

To compile around the error I noted, comment out line 897 ("sin6->sin6_addr = in6addr_any;") and retry nmake. It allows a successful compile though I will not testify to what chaos the commenting out of that line may create down the line! The exact error preventing Vista compilation: main\network.c(897) : error C2065: 'in6addr_any' : undeclared identifier main\network.c(897) : error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'int' to 'IN6_ADDR' NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN\cl.exe"' : return code '0x2' Maybe someone less rusty in C and with more VC/Windows compile superpowers can make sense of what's going awry. Oh, and great tutorial Elizabeth! Okay - Vista users. To compile around the error I noted, comment out line 897 (”sin6->sin6_addr = in6addr_any;”) and retry nmake. It allows a successful compile though I will not testify to what chaos the commenting out of that line may create down the line!

The exact error preventing Vista compilation:

mainnetwork.c(897) : error C2065: ‘in6addr_any’ : undeclared identifier
mainnetwork.c(897) : error C2440: ‘=’ : cannot convert from ‘int’ to ‘IN6_ADDR’
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: ‘”C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8VCBINcl.exe”‘ : return code ‘0×2′

Maybe someone less rusty in C and with more VC/Windows compile superpowers can make sense of what’s going awry. Oh, and great tutorial Elizabeth!

Just to torture myself, I'm finding this doesn't work out just yet on Windows Vista using everything except for replacing the SDK with the newer Windows SDK for Vista. Everything works until you try nmake and then it throws some horrific Fatal Error: NMAKE:fatal error U1077 “C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8…c1.exe” return ‘0×2′. For some reason VC's c1.exe doesn't like me, or maybe it's the vengeful Windows platform itself in Vista. Anyone managed to compile under Vista yet? Google just seems to have failed - which is incredible; has a Vista attempt ever been made or mentioned anywhere??? Windows is hell on wheels! ;).
