Problems Compiling PHP with SSH2 pecl extension for Windows

Question

First, I am not a programmer. I am a Network Admin who has been asked to compile PHP for our web designer with SSH2 enabled.

I have been following this walk-through to compile PHP for Windows: https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild

To compile, I am using: Microsoft Visual C++ Studio 2008 Express Microsoft Windows SDK 6.1

I have downloaded all mandatory libraries and libraries needed for SSH2. I have extracted and placed them in the 'deps' folder. I have also downloaded the SSH2 extension code and placed it in a 'pecl' folder I created in the 'x86' directory.

It looks like the compiler is not finding the libraries I have added. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Here are some of errors I get when attempting to compile using the following command:

C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86\php5.3-201107071830>configure --enable-cli --with-ss
h2

For SSH2: (updated URL, we put all releases there, under pecl/snaps, some snapshots build can be found too).

http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/ssh2/

For the error in your build, you are missing all default libs. But if all you want is ssh2, use:

configure --disable-all --enable-cli --with-ss2=shared

(zts or nts may require the zts option as well)
