Maybe my Visual Studio has some configuration problems or has somewhat
corrupted: I've tried a little to build with scripts and with IDE with
no luck.
See if you see anything wrong in my steps. Anyway I try to go further in
this afternoon.
My VM (XP SP3 on Xubuntu guest) has C:\ almost full, and to expand it
isn't fast, so many programs (VC6 too) are installed in another drive,
hope this isn't a problem.
I downloaded sources (.zip) for VC6 and unzipped in G:\PHP-5.3RC2.0.
Downloaded bison for windows (.msi) and installed it in
"G:\Programmi\GNU...". As usual, installation doesn't update PATH so did
by hand.
buildconf
OK

configure --with-interbase=shared,C:\Programmi\Firebird\Firebird_1_5
blocked initially because did not find cl.exe (added to PATH) and his
.dll (maybe not the right thing to do, but copied it in SYSTEM32).
OK

nmake
Blocked because doesn't find <ioctl.h> (?)
Maybe it's only missing a system var, but then tried IDE.

Loaded project for all expansion, and tried to build only php-intebase.
It is blocked because doesn't find <ibase.h>.
Tried copying them in ext\interbase but didn't solved.
Project options, in the search for header files directory list, has
..\...\..\php-build\Firebird SDK\include.
Tried to create that dir in G: root with requested files (ibase.h and
iberror.h) but that error remain.

I can create a new VM with all in C:\, but that takes a while; or (may
be better) clone and expand C: and reinstall a clean VC6 in it.
I am not an experienced VC6 programmer, only a basic IDE user. Suggestion?

Ciao.
Mimmo.
