I've put up a copy of what I currently have working on my Vista64 box
http://lsces.org.uk/PHP/php-5.3.0RC3-dev-Win64.zip
My own aim for this exercise was to be able to use Firebird with PHP5.3 something which is being blocked by the PHP Windows team for some spurious reason which this build disproves ( I've not had to rebuild the Firebird Client Library with VC9, I just use the VC8-x64 one supplied with the Win64 - Firebird distribution ). Because of that I've moved the MySQL specific stuff currently included by default back to shared libraries, so you will need to enable them if you want MySQL.
The snapshot.txt file in the main directory lists all of the bits currently included and the shared libs. Some of the libraries have been copied from the Blackdot apache distribution and so we need to tidy that up at some point.
MSSQL and Oracle are missing if someone can supply the x64 libraries needed I'm happy to add them to the build. eaccelerator from the latest code is here, but not compiling. I had hoped to sort that before publishing, but the 5.2 to 5.3 changes need more work to get it to build.
Next target is the PECL packages, and ImageMagick is the one I need going forward! So if you have any x64 bits that can help please forward them. http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/index.php?page=Contact |

We do provide x64 snapshots already with almost all extensions available.

It is nice to play with the build as an exercise, to FUD in all possible channels is not really a good thing.

Bad idea.

I think you really need to read again the explanations I gave you about the CRT.

MSSql cannot be used with VC9, the SDK the mssql extensions rely on is not compatible anymore. Oracle will present in the x64 snapshots or the next 5.3 RC. |

The current x64 snapshots do not include Apache either. Since this site is the only place Apache64 builds are available, this is the right place to be playing with that?
And I now have a perfectly functional Apache/PHP/Firebird install on Vista64 - something that I can not do with the builds from PHP!

WHY - if PHP will not run without MySQL installed then it is a bug that needs fixing. This is a discussion that has been had before, and just because some people think that MySQL is essential is no reason for it to not to be removable from the core. Certainly Linux builds will be made without MySQL!

There are a number of people who agree with me that the way that the windows builds are being managed on windows.php.net is simply wrong, and so if the only way I can get the builds that I want is to do it myself then I will do that, and the number of downloads of this build would suggest that there are other people in the same boat as me. The build I am doing ignores your demands for VC9 builds and still passes all the tests. So I'm now happy that I have a working system - but I still can't deploy it because other key libraries still need converting to PHP5.3

There are other libraries that need sorting which are currently working with PHP5.2, but need to be available in 5.3 and that is the main reason that I am now running a dedicated machine to support this. I'm happy to add other PHP and PECL stuff to the setup here if people supply the necessary bits. |

Because apache and apachelounge (which uses VC9) do not have or support x64 yet. We don't want to have to build our own apache. But we are in discussions with the apache win team as well.

Wait, you are saying that what we do is wrong because you guys did not manage to actually get the work done in time? Even if I was asking that since almost a year now? Blame yourself for your lack of motivation, but don't blame us for not doing your work.
If you succeed to solve the issue and prove that you have a viable solution, we may reconsider the firebird inclusion, in 5.3.1. But you missed the 5.3.0 train, sorry.

For example?

Yet another proof that you do not even read the relevant mailing list. |

You know the two I'm looking into currently
ImageMagick - no problem with a x86 build using the existing import library, but there is no x64 build and it can't be built on VSExpress. Express does not have the libraries to build visual applications, or at least that is what I am being told.
eaccelerator.
Much of the code in CVS has been updated to take account of PHP5.3 changes, but It will not compile currently on my setup
We also need to update PHPEclipse to cater for new features in 5.3 but that is another matter, and just somewhere else I could be spending time. I decided that since I had this x64 box I may as well take advantage of it and so being able to deploy a FWAP64 setup is something positive. |

Hi there,
Have you tested any opcode cache (eac, apc, xcache) or memcache? x64 VC9?
Thanks,
Ricardo |
