Troubles with Building PHP Source

Post by M2tM »

I'm interested in checking out how to build an extension. I have Visual Studio 2010 and am trying to run the buildconf.bin and configure.bin files which came with PHP 5.3.2. I am running Windows XP.

When I run configure.bin I get this message:

"Saving configure options to config.nice.bat
Checking for cl.exe ... <not found>
ERROR: MS C++ compiler is required"

And I can't find anything relating to how to fix this error. My cl.exe is located at 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\cl.exe'.

Any advice would be appreciated!
