Re: Compiling module under Windows for Apache 2.2.4 with APXS.BAT/.PL

["Mark A. Craig" <mark.a.craig@xxxxxxxxx>]

Got a tiny bit further:

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin>vsvars32.bat
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 x86 tools.

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin>apxs -c -i -a mod_httpbl.c

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

mod_httpbl.c

C:\PROGRA~1\APACHE~1\Apache2.2\include\apr.h(92) : fatal error C1083: Cannot 
open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory

apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=131072

How do I resolve this include failure, and how many other includes will it fail 
to find?  There are a LOT of includes in that .c file!  I know, for a guy who 
once upon a time did programming, I'm such a complete newb.  I haven't touched 
any code file that didn't end in .html since the 80s.  :-/
