找不到bison.exe在VS15中编译PHP7

Question

Attempting to compile PHP in Windows with Visual Studio 15 (community edition) results in

Checking for bison.exe ... <not found>

All I'm after is a version of php_pdo_sqlite.dll that includes the soundex() function. See this for the PHP 5 method I used.

I do know that VS Code is insufficient, and that installing VS 15 community does not add the path to cl.exe. Because I only need to go through this exercise to get the dll I am grossly unfamiliar with Visual Studio. Where is bison.exe? [And yes, I know that soundex() is in pdo_sqlite in *nix.]

Answer 1

Are you looking for this fellow? It's a parser generator (in case you didn't know) built for windows platform. You'll have to install the binary somewhere in your PATH, so that VS could find it.
