I was using my fork of <a href="https://github.com/crazywhalecc/static-php-cli">static-php-cli</a> (SPC). The link step for <code>php8ts.dll</code> fell over with a wall of errors that all looked like this:</p> <pre tabindex="0"><code>php8ts.dll.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol UTF8ToHtml php8ts.dll.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol UTF8Toisolat1 php8ts.dll.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __htmlDefaultSAXHandler ... php8ts.dll.def : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol attributeDecl ... </code></pre><p>(That excerpt is from <a href="https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/22752">php/php-src#22752</a>. It&rsquo;s the same failure someone else hit three months later. My log is long gone, and theirs is public.)</p>
