I've been making futile efforts to compile a module, mod_httpbl.c, and not having any luck. I found and installed (or at least think I have) the contents of apxs_win32.zip, with which William/Bill Rowe seems to have had some involvement. However, when I try to follow the recommended instructions for compiling this module, it fails with various errors. Along the way I discovered that apxs.bat used a long-filename reference to perl.exe, but it wasn't properly quoted and it was failing to find perl.exe, so I had to actually edit apxs.bat and change the reference to 8.3 format. The command I'm instructed to use to compile it is: apxs -c -i -a mod_httpbl.c When I try this from a Command window in \bin\ and the .c file in that same directory, I get the following response: cl /nologo /MD /W3 /O2 /D WIN32 /D _WINDOWS /D NDEBUG -I"C:\PROGRA~1\APACHE~1\Apache2.2\include" /c /Fomod_httpbl.lo mod_httpbl.c 'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536 Is it going to be practical to compile this module? I may be in far over my head. Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
