Re: Unable to compile Apache-2.2.11 on Windows using Cygwin

["sathya sai" <sathyasai.eshwar@xxxxxxxxx>]

No, I couldn't find .mak/.dep files on httpd-2.2.11-win32-src.zip downloaded from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi which retricts me to build through command line through Cygwin.

 

I actually have an automated script which compiles the apache source through nmake (VC command line as mentioned in "Command-Line Build" section on http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/platform/win_compiling.html URL) from Cygwin.

 

This was working fine till httpd-2.2.9 version. But, now its failing now with http-2.2.11 version.

 

Could you please let me know if there is any intention behind the removal of .mak/.dep files from latest version of apache. I couldn't find any reason in apache portal.

 

If there is a genuine reason in removing these files, could you please suggest me an alternate means to compile Apache source through command-line on Windows. So that I could just tune my existing script to work with the latest apache source.

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

nope - .mak/.dep files are added to the httpd-2.2.x-win32-src.zip package.

If you want a native build from the command line (sounds like you do) you
just need to grab the right package and ensure ms tools/sdk are in your
path.

FYI the other way 'round is to run srclib\apr\build\cvtdsp -2005
and then load apache.dsw into devenv (visual studio 2003+++).  Even
running the command line make when then run them through the console
devenv mode from the imported .sln / .vcproj files.

If you want a command line cyg/mingw build you don't do any of the above,
including using makefile.win.  You run ./configure and proceed as if you
were running in any other unix package.

...Also, why are you (a) compiling something in an odd way and (b) compiling under Cygwin for Windows when you'll get better perfomance on a standard win32 build.
