I'll chime in here a little :) Off hand, I can't think of anyone else who was building Apache 2.2.0 on Windows apart from wrowe and myself, and during the release cycle I spent a bit of time making sure that 2.2.0 did actually compile and work on Windows, to the point where it was passing the test suite and serving me files. Though I completely ignored all of the very noisy warnings and other problems with the latets versions of Visual Studio which wrowe has put in a serious amount of effort to fix since. I had working binaries, which were provided to a few people who mailed asking for them, and I was happy to supply. My own personal reasons for not putting up binaries on www.apache.org are that I consider them a personal non-priority (it's just an outlook thing) and ensuring ABI compatibility for probably several years a complete non-goal, I don't want that headache :). I think wrowe is alot generous to take it on! -- Colm MacCárthaigh Public Key: colm+pgp@xxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
