RE: Apache 2.2.8 Windows Compile Issue/Failure

["Stusynski, Dan" <dstusynski@xxxxxxx>]

This was resolved by doing a command line build and changing the default INSTDIR value to something other than /Apache22 (ie, D:\Apache22). I retested the command line build using the default and it failed at the same place as noted below.

 

I did not retest the MSCV++ to see if changing the default install location rectified the error. I would assume it does however.

Subject: Apache 2.2.8 Windows Compile Issue/Failure

Hello all,

 

Hopefully someone can provide guidance or has seen this problem before since google didn't dredge up anything useful.

 

During my Win XP build of Apache 2.2.8 using MSCV++ 6.0 I've run across an issue I can't immediately resolve.

 

The build fails towards the end of the build when the file <apache_src_dir>/build/installwinconf.awk gets invoked, the compile fails with the following error:

 

D:\apache_builds\windows_M030\httpd-2.2.8>(copy docs\conf\mime.types "\Apache22\conf\original\mime.types"   0<.y )
        1 file(s) copied.
 awk -f build\installwinconf.awk example.com www.example.com  admin@xxxxxxxxxxx 80 443 "\Apache22 " docs/conf/
awk: build\installwinconf.awk:49: fatal: can't redirect to `/Apache22/logs/install.log' (No such file or directory)
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'awk' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
Error executing NMAKE.

httpd.exe - 1 error(s), 10 warning(s)

 

 

It can't find logs/install.log since it doesn't exist in the directory after checking. If I comment out the print statements (or remove the piping into the install.log) in the installwinconf.awk, and rebuild I get a subsequent error:

 

 

D:\apache_builds\windows_M030\httpd-2.2.8>(copy docs\conf\mime.types "\Apache22\conf\original\mime.types"   0<.y )
        1 file(s) copied.
 awk -f build\installwinconf.awk example.com www.example.com  admin@xxxxxxxxxxx 80 443 "\Apache22 " docs/conf/

 ServerRoot =    /Apache22
awk: build\installwinconf.awk:194: fatal: can't redirect to `/Apache22/conf/original/extra/httpd-autoindex.conf' (No such file or directory)
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'awk' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
Error executing NMAKE.

httpd.exe - 1 error(s), 10 warning(s)

 

A quick check shows that `/Apache22/conf/original/extra/httpd-autoindex.conf' doens't exist either. However, the file /Apache22/conf/extra/httpd-autoindex.conf does exist, and appears (using a quick check) to have the correct values where the tokens are/were. For examle, www.example.com would have replaced the @@servername@@ token.

 

These errors didn't occur with 2.2.6. Any thoughts on how to proceed or resolve this error? Creating dummy files or copying the tokenized source files from <apache_src_dir>/docs/conf/ to this location didn't allow the build to proceed.

 

Any help is appreciated.
