Rules for building IMAP ----------------------- Note 1: You *must* use NT's cmd.exe for this job; 4NT.exe will NOT work properly. Note 2: During the entire build process, you can ignore warnings about inconsistent DLL linkage. - Open IMAP under php_build. Rename this directory to 'IMAP'. - Change to the IMAP directory. - Edit .\src\osdep\nt\makefile.nt: Search for '/MT', and change it to '/MD'. If you're compiling in DEBUG mode, use '/MDd' instead. Search for 'ERASE'. Comment out the line that contains the ERASE command. - Run 'nmake nt' ---Begin Win2K only--- - At some point, the build will fail. Rerun 'nmake nt'. - After a while, the build will fail again, failing to find auths.c. - Change directory to 'c-client' - Create an a file named auths.c, that includes the following line: #include "auth_md5.c" - Run 'nmake -f makefile.nt' ---End Win2K only--- At this point (even if the last build apparently failed), you should have the client library ready (cclient.lib). Start Visual Studio, load php_modules.dsw, select the IMAP projects, and build it.
