My sincere thanks to all who contributed,
Inspite of asking a non MS related ques. I got responses.
Actually the first time things may go wrong but then you have to do a
'make clean' in both apache and php and then compile them.
I got this from o'reilly's website by Darrell Brogdon (author of PHP Admin

Thought this might be useful for others so posting it.
