VC16 build for windows pecl

[N6REJ]

I'm looking for an updated build for https://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/deps/ImageMagick-7.1.0-18-vc15-x86.zip that uses vc16 & x64. Where can I find such a thing or create one?

8.2.1 is around the corner and still no build :C I've been waiting for weeks...
I found this: https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild if you manage to build a DLL before one appears on pecl please share.

What does ":C" mean? I don't speak emoji.

@N6REJ I've actually never been involved in building any extensions for Windows, and I'm not a Windows user.

Reading the front page of https://windows.php.net/ I can see:

Missing PECL DLLs
17 Oct 2022

You may have already noticed that DLLs for new PECL releases are no longer available for several months. This is because the Windows PECL build machine died, and the team is still working on the long term plan of building DLLs for PECL extensions with a new CI process. We're doing our best to finish that as soon as possible, and keep you up to date.

Which is certainly unfortunate.

I will try to find out what the situation is. For the record, I personally think getting the windows builds available again is something that would be appropriate for the PHP Foundation to be hiring someone to work on full time.

it would be great if you could expedite it. We've got every version of imagemick since php 8.0 not working because of it.

if you want, teach me how to do it and i'll make the imagick ones myself

I don't know, I've never compiled Imagick on windows.

If anyone wants to write some instructions, I could host them on phpimagick.com

btw, https://mlocati.github.io/articles/php-windows-imagick.html exists and may be of help to some people.

Sigh, the latest version provided on that page, for 8.1, doesn't work for 8.2. Using PHP 8.2 and following those instructions for 8.1, I get the expected mismatch error:

[29-Dec-2022 17:35:22 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: imagick: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20210902

I had to go through 9 rings of hell to make this build without any instructions or tips... If you really need it, I can make another build, for NTS...) You can download here - #573 (comment)
