ok ok i’ve try to set it up on my pc again, i installed mysql but how do i compile it with php

ok all i can get is: For compiling, simply use the –with-mysql[=DIR] configuration option where the optional [DIR] points to the MySQL installation directory.

wtf dose that mean can someone tell me what to do. :'(

I think installing PHP and MySQL on localhost is beyond the scope of the bbPress support forums. Looks like you already found this:

http://us2.php.net/mysql

It would be less stressful to just get a hosting account that already supports those PHP and MySQL, then install bbPress there. Then the site can be Internet accessible as well.

Regarding flat file forum software:

myUPB

PBLang

I don’t have experience with any of those, just found them at http://www.opensourcecms.com/

You could also use a hosted solution like Yahoo! Groups or something like that.

If you are installing on a home pc, try installing XAMPP to get an instant (like 1 minute tops) install of apache+mysql+php

It’s absolutely wonderful.

this is the one for windows specifically if that’s what you have:
