It seems like this isn't going to be fixed any time soon. 220 extensions which may have version specific external libraries and each one needing to be built at least 20 ways (VC6/9, ts/nts, 5.0/5.1/5.2/5.3/6.0). That gives 4,400 build processes. Debug? 8,800 builds. And then more if there are different external libraries, though I would hope that a version of a PECL extension would only run with a single version of an external library. I don't know if the dependencies are maintained in any easy way. Compare that with PHP's handful of builds. -- ----- Richard Quadling Zend Certified Engineer : http://zend.com/zce.php?c=ZEND002498&r=213474731 "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!" -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
