[Mapserver-users] MapServer Windows external symbol problem

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

I am using the regex files that come bundeled with PHP source code 
distribution (you have probably seen it in the nmake.opt a refernece to 
the regex directory phpxxx/regex). I never had any trouble with that 
(the lastet build being done with php4.3.7). Is it possible for you to 
give that a try ?

Later,
