    If trying to compile the code (Windows XP, SDK v6.1) and you get the following types of errors:

    c:\phpdev\php-5.2.9\main\php_network.h(128) : warning C4005: 'POLLIN' : macro redefinition

    Stop.

    You can alter the Makefile and add the following switch to CFLAGS:

    /D _WIN32_WINNT

    >> Compiling using Visual Studio .NET will create binaries dependent of msvcp71.dll

    Only if you compile with the wrong runtime library.

    If you are getting the following error message:
    Input Error: There is no script engine for file extension ".js"
    with Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt or similar, try to add "/e:jscript" to the command line.

    Something like:
    cscript /nologo /e:jscript win32/build/buildconf.js

    It worked for me, I hope it helps.
