Also a clear understanding of exactly what MS compiler must be used.
Will the free MS VC++ 2005 Express Edition be suitable? If so, this
could actually allow more building and testing by those like me who
have no access to a *ix box and quite frankly don't know what the fuss
is all about with *ix as Windows does EVERYTHING you could possibly
want!
Hmmm..
(Wait for gasp of breath and sudden adrenaline boost ...)
Ok. Just joking there, *ix is great (or so I've been told - really NOT
sure you know!), but I spend too long talking to users who have a
locked down system and bosses who can get a 2 hour turnaround on
anything they have (from a PDA to a server) if it all goes wrong and
won't pay for anything else!
What I'm basically saying is that you lot already understand the build
process and for those like me and Igor, some support would be great if
for nothing else we could maybe help fix some of the window specific
problems and missing functionality from windows and if we don't
succeed first time, we will learn, PHP grows, we all create world
peace, yada, yada, yada. Save us from repeating previous mistakes,
etc., etc.
