GD Graphics Build on Windows

[IndyTim]

Does anyone have any recent experience in building the GD Graphics Library on a Windows box? From the bits and pieces of info, it appears that the source needs to be compiled via an ANSI C Compiler. Any specifics on steps required and related info would be appreciated.

TIA,

IndyTim if you have the windows binary Zip from PHP then it includes the php_gd2.dll which is all you need for win32 (& to uncommnet the extension in your php.ini)

... unless you really want to build PHP on win32 which is great as an excersise etc but otherwise pointless as pretty much everything in already compiled into the win32 binary already.
