Buildconf not found when compiling php on windows












1















I am trying to compile PHP on a windows 10 by following below instructions



https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild_sdk_2



All steps are ok until I try to perform the buildconf step. In that moment the phpsdk console returns a simple: "'buildconf' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."



Is buildconf a part of SDK right? What can it make not to be found? I was expeting it to be reacheable from inside the SDK itself...



I am trying to compile it in a windows 10 VM under Paralells Dekstop (MacOSX) but that should not be a problem right?



Versions used:




  • Visual Studio 2017 Community

  • PHP 7.3.1

  • Windows 10 Professional 64 bit


Any thing that I miss?

          You have probably downloaded the binary release.
          You need to click "Download source code".
          Once you get it in the unpacked format,
          you will find buildconf at the root of the source folder.



          For detailed instructions see
          Build your own PHP on Windows.
          Note well the required prerequisites.
