Re: [Php-java-bridge-users] drop C implementation and rpm ? Call for rpm packagers.

[<php...@li...>]

Hi everyone,

I'm a php-java-bridge user, in windows environment and the performance 
penalty is very relevant for our needs and so, i've alocated some time 
(without priority mind) to build the module into a windows dll.

I'm trying (time allow) to "understand" the windows build requirements 
(not an easy task with all the obscure "Zend" stuff around) for it and 
build an Ant/Nant file to build it easier.

I've had some success in some of the building steps, but it is still a 
work very much in the process.

I know it won't be much, but this is the help i can provide...

Cheers,
Luis Ferro
