Creating .so file on windows for C++ Static Library to be used in PHP

Question

Actually we are required to use C++ Static Library in PHP, for that we are required to create .so . Just to be specific we are working on Windows Platform, so make / ./configure etc are not available here for making php extension or we are not able to figure that out.

Any help either on creating ".so" file for C++ static library on windows or steps to create make and configure files for C++ Static library on windows.

thanks in advance....

did you try to use cygwin and/or msys for configuring/building/etc? — Criss, Oct 10 '12 at 13:28

Files with extension .so are usually unix-based dynamic libraries.
The equivalent for that in Windows is usually a .dll file.
In the case of PHP extensions, it might be a good idea to read the manual

you use dll's in a windows enviroment

 LoadModule php5_module "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.5/php5apache2_2.dll"

as an example in httpd.conf or

 extension=php_gd2.dll

in PHP.ini . Recompile the code with gcc if you need it in a unix enviroment
