1MSVC++ project file generation 2============================== 3 4These files are only intended for use in debugging and profiling, 5but can be used to create working binaries. However, they are very 6unlikely to match the official PHP distributed binaries. 7 8With this in mind, the script will only generate basic .dsp files 9for the modules that are currently configured. 10 11The switch for project file generation is a buildconf switch and 12not a configure switch: 13 14> buildconf --add-project-files 15> configure ... 16 17The resulting workspace files should appear at /win32/phpdll[ts].dsw 18and (if any shared modules are configured) at /win32/php_modules.dsw, 19after configure is run. 20 21If the .dsw files haven't generated in a sane way, the most likely reason 22will be that the template files have become corrupted. They need DOS 23line endings (CR/LF) in order to function. The affected files are: 24 25/win32/build/block.template.dsw 26/win32/build/template.dsp 27/win32/build/template.dsw 28 29Simply save them with DOS line endings, and bug it to me if basic 30project file generation still fails (as in, you ran the command and 31configure again after saving, and you have a working copy of MSVS 32installed, but clicking on the workspace(s) doesn't give you anything). 33 34- Steph 35sfox@php.net 36 37July 2008 38
