SAPIS

SAPI's are reliant on third party libraries to link against, and since client and server compiler versions should match, these are not distributed by PHP (we are not in the server business)

SAPI	server	version	released	compiler
aolserver	http://aolserver.com/	N/A	N/A	N/A

Aolserver does not provide binaries, and so is not currently being built for PHP

Third party libraries are not available in our repositories. The reason are the miscellaneous restricted licenses and non open sources code. However, we are authorized to distribute them with our PHP releases but not their SDK.

fbase - Frontbase
msql - Mini SQL
mssql/pdo_dblib - ntwdblib, only available with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or earlier
oci8/pdo_oci - Oracle
sybase_ct - Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise

PECL Extensions

General Compiling Guidelines

Any makefiles, project files, source, .rc files - basically anything used to compile a library for PHP should be bundled into a source distribution.

dlls should have a .rc file with a minimum of the version and compiler used

Because windows doesn't differentiate between static libs and dll stub libs (both end in .lib) use a _a suffix for a static lib (libxml2_a.lib)

Any debug version of a library or dll should have a _debug suffix
