Building on windows is VERY difficult - I wouldn't recommend you try it
if you don't know what you're doing - furthermore jre has nothing to do
with building at all.  The build system for PHP on windows (and PHP-GTK
which has a SEPARATE build system) is run with CSCRIPT - windows command
based script host, and is written in Jscript (a microsoft javascript
variant)

If you have a PHP server installed on your windows machine you will need
a separate PHP install for PHP-GTK.  Also you need to make sure that
you're getting the right php-cli.ini loaded.  If you need a
php_mysql.dll to use with PHP-GTK you need the extension from the NON
THREAD SAFE (nts) download of php at php.net - NOT the regular or thread
safe version - they don't work together.  Also remember that PHP-GTK
only works with the PHP CLI - it is NOT for use with a server!

Thanks,
