Re: php_yaz php5.3.5 windows

One thing I'm confused about is the compiling process itself.

I can compile PHP successfully but I'm not sure how to compile a PECL
package.  I just don't understand how to do that?  I've read literally
dozens of tutorials on how to setup the environment to compile PHP, which
I've done successfully, but then they stop short ot describing how to
compile a PECL package.

Can it be compiled into PHP 5.3.5 or can it be compiled into a DLL I can use
for an extension or can both be done?  I'm just not real familiar with doing
these types of things.  I don't even know how the file structure should be
setup.  And, it gets even more frustrating when I download the win32 PECL
packages and find that YAZ isnt there so I have to get it with CSV.  I'm
just missing some key pieces.

I appreciate any way you can help.
