Re: Can't build PHP 5.3.1 under Cygwin 1.7.0-68

I have the 5.3.1 distro and also have libxml2 (2.7.4-1).  There is one
major obstacle in the "configure" script. Since the xml2 distro does NOT
have a file named "libxml2-configure", it gives up. Where can I find a
copy of this file??? I tried using --with-libxml-dir /bin without any
sucess.

Was this an over-sight in the cygwin 1.7 distro??

No, the script is correctly called xml2-config and it is part of the libxml2-devel package.


OTOH, PHP is a very difficult package to build correctly. You may wish to use the packages available in Cygwin Ports[1] rather than try to build this yourself.
