[Xapian-discuss] Windows build files for PHP bindings now available for 0.9.10

[Charlie Hull]

Hi all,

After a certain amount of pain, we have managed to get PHP bindings to 
build for Windows using Visual C++. The updated build files are at:
http://www.lemurconsulting.com/Products/Xapian/Overview.shtml

Notes:
a. You need to run SWIG to rebuild the bindings, the versions included 
in the distro don't work.
b. PHP 4 bindings can be built against the Windows binary of PHP.
c. PHP 5 doesn't work unless you hack PHP itself to prevent it crashing 
on exit - I've filed a bug with the PHP people about this, and there's 
evidence similar things have happened in the past, so I'm pretty sure 
it's not our fault. I've included pointers to instructions about how to 
build PHP.

Thanks to Daniel Ménard for supporting this project.

Cheers

Charlie
