5.2.8 Build problem - php_cli.c compile fails

I have been unable to build PHP 5.2.8 (release or snapshot from this
afternoon).

My guess is that I haven't set up my build environment correctly since the
binary Windows snaps seem to building OK.

 

I'm using Visual Studio V6 and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SDK.

 

I have a directory C:\PhpDev. 

Within C:\PhpDev are the php-5.2.8 source tree and the php_build tree from
http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/php-libs/binary-tools.zip.

 

I perform the following steps:

- Change to C:\Php_dev\php-5.2.8.

- "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\VCVARS32.BAT"

- buildconf.bat

- cscript /nologo configure.js --disable-all --enable-cli
--enable-object-out-dir=.

- nmake

 

Execution of configure.js resulted in no warnings or errors.

 

When nmake attempts to compile php_cli.c it reports:

error C2027: use of undefined type 'addrinfo' in 

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Include\.\wspiapi.h(168)

 

A couple of dozen additional errors are reported, all related to the missing
addrinfo structure definition.

 

William Rowe responded to my original post with:

"The fix is trivial, I'll have something shortly, sorry I've been swamped
since I put together these fixes.

 

Essentially we simply need to ensure that _WINSOCK_H_ is defined to prevent
the SDK from including winsock.h, and then ensure that winsock2 is included
consistently.  winsock.h is long, long dead."

 

I have been trying to implement this advice but no joy so far.

I have successfully defined _WINSOCK_H_ and have changed the only instance
that I could find of #include winsock.h to #include winsock2.h, but still
get the same error.

 

I really need to get a build environment in place for PHP5 so that I can
migrate a large project with a bunch of W32-specific stuff in it (including
some custom extensions) to from PHP4 to PHP5.

 

Assistance with getting a Windows PHP5 build environment correctly
configured would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,
