PHP4 and CYGWIN
The maintainers of Cywin pulled out the PHP4 modules from the distribution some time ago. When I got my new tablet I am now without an pc baed unix environment. Thought about using a virtual machine... but the thought of managing a 3G file was not that appealing. I have space but... meh
Either way trying to find out how to compile the PHP4 stuff for cygwin. Whew hard to find and I am not happy about it... I have wasted several hours trying to geth this to work. The problem is converting the shared libraries to dll's. No fun... but I found a fix...
Thanks goes out the owner of this Japanese site. The instructions here are good: http://discypus.jp/pukiwiki/pukiwiki.php?cmd=read&page=Cygwin%2Fapache%2Fphp
Special thanks goes to Andrew who posted in the cygwin mailing list -- I cannot agree more that this was very painful -- I followed the same course. Thanks Andrew: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-10/msg00502.html
Some extra notes:
- I needed Postgresql support also, and just had to add
"--with-pgsql" to the configure phase and a "-lpq" to the
libphp4.all.a library creation phase.
- Not guaranteed to work with any other options

Make sure to change the references noted below of libphp4.so to libphp.dll so the install does what it is supposed to.

I have some updates for the latest CYGWIN check this post as well
http://www.smrussell.net/blog/?p=96
For things to work with my config (cygwin=1.5.21, apache=1.3.33, php=4.4) I needed a couple tweaks in the library section titled "dll lresolv (=/lib/libresolv.a) whole-archive, --no-whole-archive" ... The tweaks: (1) need cygwin package "minires" installed for the -lresolv to work, and (2) I don't have "/bin/cyghttpd.dll" so I used "/bin/libhttpd.dll"
