Create a directory that is parallel to your php code.

I have

L:\BuildPHP\php53dev\vc9\x86
  deps
  Patches
  pecl
  PHP_5_3

In pecl, create a directory for the extension. It will need to contain
the code from trunk, the branch or the tag that you want to compile.

e.g.

L:\BuildPHP\php53dev\vc9\x86\pecl\yaz\tests
L:\BuildPHP\php53dev\vc9\x86\pecl\yaz\CREDITS
L:\BuildPHP\php53dev\vc9\x86\pecl\yaz\README
L:\BuildPHP\php53dev\vc9\x86\pecl\yaz\php_yaz.c
L:\BuildPHP\php53dev\vc9\x86\pecl\yaz\yaz.dsp
L:\BuildPHP\php53dev\vc9\x86\pecl\yaz\php_yaz.h
L:\BuildPHP\php53dev\vc9\x86\pecl\yaz\config.m4
L:\BuildPHP\php53dev\vc9\x86\pecl\yaz\config.w32
L:\BuildPHP\php53dev\vc9\x86\pecl\yaz\package.xml
etc.

When you run buildconf, the configuration of the extensions in pecl
will be found.

You can then include/exclude them via the configure.js script.

If you run ...

configure --help

you'll see (for yaz) ...

  --with-yaz                        YAZ support (ANSI/NISO Z39.50)

So, you can now say ...

configure --with-yaz=shared

(for example - missing out a lot of other options).

And when you then run nmake, you'll get yaz compiled.

I've not tried it (as I'm a bit slow on these things), but there is a
mechanism called phpize which I think it a process to compile a PHP
extension without the need to do a full build of PHP.
