Hello all,

=20

I've gone through a lengthy process today of downloading all the =
necessary
components to compile MapServer 4.0.1 with PHP MapScript in =
Cygwin/WinXP.
To my surprise, I actually got it to work - not that there's a problem =
with
the MapServer code, I'm just not usually this lucky on my own with such =
a
complicated procedure.  My objective in this case was to get to a point
where I could use the fixed mappostgis.c that won't return PostgreSQL =
error
messages with the QueryByRect function called when identifying features =
on a
map (which I will be trying next). =20

=20

At any rate, the only thing I'm still lacking is the DLL for MapScript.  =
It
seems that while there are php_mapscript.o and php_mapscript_util.o =
files
created from the make process, I don't have any evidence of a DLL =
anyhere.
Looking at the makefile in the mapscript/php3 folder in the mapserver
source, it looks like it is supposed to create a php_mapscript.so =
file.and
while that is not what I want to get (since I'm running windows), this =
*.so
file does not exist anywhere either.  Basically, the last thing I did =
was
configure MapServer with the following options:

=20

./configure --with-jpeg --with-gd=3D/usr --with-freetype=3D/usr =
--with-zlib=3D/usr
--with-png=3D/usr --with-pdf=3D/usr --with-tiff=3D/usr --without-eppl
--with-proj=3D/usr --with-ogr=3D/usr/bin/gdal-config
--with-gdal=3D/usr/bin/gdal-config --with-postgis=3D/usr/bin/pg_config
--with-wfs --with-wmsclient --with-wfsclient
--with-curl-config=3D/usr/bin/curl-config --disable-ignore-missing-data
--with-php=3D/usr/src/php-4.3.4

=20

Then I ran MAKE, and after re-configuring/compiling PHP a couple times, =
it
worked.  The configuration I used for compiling PHP was "./configure
--prefix=3D/usr --with-regex=3Dsystem". =20

=20

Can anyone suggest what extra steps and/or modifications I should make =
in
order to get the PHP_MapScript.dll compiled?  For now, I can still use =
the
PHP_MapScript.dll that comes with the binaries, but I'm worried this =
might
cause problems later on, since the MapScript/MapServer versions may not
match-up exactly.

Thanks,

Mike
