Topic: PHP Win64 Build-Environment

[Virsacer]

Hi,

I will not be providing x64 builds anymore.
But I decieded to make my Build-Environment available:

http://www.erazergermany.de/HOME/PHP-Win64-Build-Environment.zip

Have fun and feel free to modify it to your needs...

We should miss your builds, thanks! I leave the link to the latest on the download page.

Also thanks for your Build-Environment.

Do you think anyone will pick up the PHP Windows 64-bit build? There has only been one other PHP Windows 64-bit build that I have found (and this site also builds Windows 64-bit Apache as well) but seems to be a couple of months behind.

I have downloaded the build environment but seems to be missing key elements:
- version of VC used/tested on
- how to use the provided PHP files (i.e. php index.php produces a HTML table but also says it will update !Libraries.php but I don't understand how)

Not that I have the time to do this (does anybody?) but if I can get a little guidance I would be willing to give it a shot.

Hi,

I did use VC10 Prof with Windows SDK 7.1
!Libraries.php has to be updated manually

You can move index.php to your htdocs - it tells you which libraries are ready to be built

green: output zip (with version-matching-filename) exists
yellow: ready to build
red: another lib needs to be built first

orange: newer versions of the lib did not work for me (set with "!" in front of versionnumber in !Libraries.php)

Obviously index.php cannot check if the zip actually contains a correct built lib - so if you update a lib you need to check if other libs depend on it and rebuilt them...

When you have all libs just run !BUILD.bat

A suggestion: put your Environment on github.

I wanted to say thank you, Virsacer, for posting a response. I did want to let you know that I am going to attempt to build PHP x64 ver soon.

I have installed the Windows SDK 7.1 (a tad bit of a pain since I already had VC10 w/SP1 installed) and VC10 w/SP1.

I had built a couple of early PHP 5.3 versions so I am somewhat familiar with build processes (at least way back then). What has lost me some is the use of the PHP files in the process. I went ahead and set Apache to point the localhost to D:/PHP and PHP.EXE is in the path and I can view index.php.

I need to download and try to sort the build process out.

Just how different is this as compared to the reference that James had provided (the step-by-step build)? Any information that deviates from that would be helpful.

Also, when you say the ones in orange didn't work for you, what did you do in those cases? I see that curl shows 7.26.0 but it is orange?

Thank you kindly for your assistance.

Hi,

you need to download and put the sourcecode into the directories as described in Readme.note
The other stuff mentioned in stepbystepbuild is done by !BUILD.bat

cURL 7.26.0 does work, but 7.27.0 did not...
