> Getting PHP to build under Cygwin is NOT trivial;While not strictly trivial, it's not hard at all. It required me nopatches or whatever. That is, if you keep your track on buildingstatic stuff (CGI/FCGI, CLI, static in apache or the likes, but notapxs/apxs2, .SO and the likes). I compiled it numerous timessuccessfully. Just install the right libs/packages and it will compilefine.
for reference, here's roughly my configure for php 5.1.2 (wrapped in abuild script)
        ./configure \                --prefix=/opt/php  \                --disable-ipv6 --with-zlib --enable-bcmath \                --enable-calendar --disable-dom --enable-exif --enable-ftp --wi$                --with-gettext --enable-mbstring \                --with-mysql=/opt/mysql --enable-pcntl \                --with-readline  --without-pear \                --enable-fastcgi
then make && make install
then I just do this, for convenience:
       cp sapi/cli/php.exe /opt/php/bin/php_cli.exe        ln -sf /opt/php/bin/php_cli.exe /usr/bin/php        cp php.ini-dist /etc/php.ini.default        if [ -e /etc/php.ini ]; then                echo "/etc/php.ini preserved"        else                cp /etc/php.ini.default /etc/php.ini        fi        ln -sf /etc/php.ini /opt/php/lib/php.ini
that's all. cli+cgi/fcgi on one run.
