In the php Manual section 6. Installation on Windows systems subsection Building from source paraghraph "Putting it all together" it isn't clearly stated that you need to have the binaries contained into bindlib_w32 in your path. In the example indicated by the manual you must add somewhere in the paragraph the following line: PATH C:\work\win32build\bin;%PATH% I think you must add that line at the end of this text: "First you should open a Visual Studio Command Prompt, which should be available under the Start menu. A regular Command Prompt window shouldn't work, as probably it doesn't have the necessary environment variables set. Then type something like cd C:\work\php-5.x.x to enter in the PHP source dir. Now you are ready to start configuring PHP." Have a nice day! Expected result: ---------------- Checking for bison.exe ... <in default path> Actual result: -------------- Checking for bison.exe ... <not found> ERROR: bison is required ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36284&edit=1
