Ah OK. Well, even without the Force of Jedi, I can already foresee a difficult path before me if I'm to compile my own binary for Windows ...

Most of all, by the absence of confirmation, I think it's just not possible to compile with Visual Studio *Express*. Too bad...

So, is the support for Windows officially dead?

Don't jump to conclusions on either matter...

Maybe you're just the person to try the freely available SDKs/command-line compilers from Microsoft and see what impediments, if any, you encounter and document any workarounds or at least engage the development community on issues you don't know how to resolve. Or maybe someone else will do it and share their experiences.

Nobody has posted httpd binaries for Windows to httpd.apache.org in quite a while, and they were never "official" anyway, whatever that means. Windows is of course supported in the source, and as someone else pointed out there are non-ASF providers of binaries for Windows.

There are some decent scripts to drive the build end-to-end with the
dependencies, some have occasionally been posted on Apache Lounge.
