Has anyone given this a shot yet? I noticed the binaries aren't appearing on ASF so I gave it a shot. It seems compiling via the IDE as per their instructions works but I can't get the command line to work.
As per the Subject, I'm using Windows XP Professional SP3, Visual Studio 6.0 with Service Pack 5 and the C++ Preprocessor Pack with Microsoft Platform SDK (Feb 2003). I also have Activestate Perl 5.10 and the GNU utilities for awk and the correct version of bison.
If I attempt to build using the ASF command line instructions, the build dies trying to build the ODBC driver and the OpenSSL 0.9.8.K build throws this:
| Code: | cl /Fotmp32dll\cversion.obj -Iinc32 -Itmp32dll -I..\zlib /MD /Ox /O2 /

However the test seems to "passed all tests". Yet, if I go on to build Apache, I end up with this:
| Code: | cl.exe /nologo /MD /W3 /Zi /O2 /Oy- /I "./include" /I "../apr/include" /
I "./include/private" /I "../apr-iconv/include" /I "./dbm/sdbm" /I "./xml/expat/

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm pretty sure I have all my paths set correctly, including those for MySQL, Perl and GNUWIN32. I am trying to build Apache with OpenSSL 0.9.8K instead of the I version they have and I am enabling MySQL with DBD_LIST="mysql", but other than that I'm going line by line from their docs, ie.:
For zlib:
| Code: | NMAKE -f win32\Makefile.msc
NMAKE -f win32\Makefile.msc test |
zlib seems to build fine and passes the tests.
For openssl:
| Code: | PERL Configure no-mdc2 no-rc5 no-idea enable-zlib VC-WIN32 -I..\zlib
CALL ms\do_masm.bat
NMAKE -f ms\ntdll.mak
|
-I..\zlib is the path to the zdll.lib file.
I have a feeling I'm missing something the ASF docs aren't eluding to? |

Ok, thanks to Tom's write up: http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=1992
I was able to get past the OpenSSL build. I actually found another way around the zlib issue by simply renaming it, but using the --with-zlib-lib switch works better. 
Now if I can just get past the Apache build. The nzerror.h is actually part of the oracle drivers, not the ODBC. Since I'm not asking it to load those, I'm not sure why it would. My DBD_LIST="mysql" doesn't have oracle listed.
I also attempted it using the 2003 R2 SDK but got the same error. Also tried using NASM for OpenSSL instead of MASM, but again the same error. I swear I'm overlooking something stupid.. |

FWIW, I have had no success with VC6 sp5 on XP. I do not know If I would have the same on 2000, I do know someone who does have luck with that combo.
I do have luck with sp6 however. I'm not saying go download and install it, because you lose that C++ Preprocessor Pack when you install sp6. You lose MASM I know for sure, anything else I cannot attest to. I save out MASM separate before I go to sp6. I also have NASM which I use for OpenSSL, but there are still plenty of build instructions out there that use MASM which is why I keep it laying around. There is however MASM 8 out there for the taking at the MS downloads.
My suggestion would be trying to compile just Apache with no Openssl or zlib. If it still fails, you may have to bite the bullet and go to sp6, but do so with the knowledge above.
And --with-zlib-lib looks like the unix commands to go with their brand of configure script. |

It looks like an incorrect dependency file was included in the Windows source .zip file for 2.2.12. This file, aprutil.dep, incorrectly says that apr-util depends on all the dbd drivers. I don't think it is worth filing a bug for this, since httpd-2.2.13 is so close.
You can delete this file will no ill effects, other than this will cause VC6 to always re-build apr-util whenever you re-build httpd - even if no apr-util files have been changed.
I could build 2.2.12 OK using VC6/MASM command-line with these commands: | Code: | ML /coff /Zi /c contrib\masm686\match.asm
NMAKE -f win32\Makefile.msc LOC="-DASMV" OBJA="match.obj"
example.exe |
OPENSSL | Code: | PERL Configure VC-WIN32 enable-camellia disable-idea
ms\do_masm
NMAKE -f ms\ntdll.mak
CD out32dll
REM we didn't build the "idea" cipher - so substitute the "engine" test for the "idea" test
COPY enginetest.exe ideatest.exe
..\ms\test.bat |
HTTPD | Code: | DEL srclib\apr-util\aprutil.dep
SET INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1.30\include
SET LIB=%LIB%;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1.30\lib\opt
NMAKE -f Makefile.win DBD_LIST="mysql" INSTDIR=C:\Apache2 _apacher
NMAKE -f Makefile.win DBD_LIST="mysql" INSTDIR=C:\Apache2 installr |
Note that I have MySQL installed in C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1.30.
I prefer to build OpenSSL with Camellia support (Camellia is FireFox's first choice for SSL cipher) and without Zlib support. All current browsers will block using SSL-compression, so it makes no difference to browsers whether you build it into OpenSSL. If you proxy from one Apache server to another Apache server, and both Apache servers have SSL-compression enabled - then they will use it. This compresses already-compressed files, like jpg's and zip's. They don't get any smaller, but they will use up a lot of CPU trying. Zlib works much better in mod_deflate, where you can choose which files get compressed.
httpd 2.2.13 will be released in a few days (maybe in a few hours - I haven't been following the mailing lists closely). This fixes the CVE-2009-2412 vulnerability, and also contains a fix for bug 36780 which may affect some folks who use mod_deflate. Perhaps you will want to just wait for 2.2.13 and try again.

Yeah, I'm just trying to mirror the build environment ASF uses to compile a VC6 build using the docs on their site. I read somewhere that most use the VC6 with SP5 and MASM. Since I couldn't get it to compile with SP6, I reverted back to SP5 on a clean system install and tried again.

Does that work with VC6? I was assuming that was for VC 2008.

I think I'm going to try to fix the issue if possible. It has to be either something I'm doing wrong or there is a bug in the docs or the app itself.  |

Ahh, that would explain why someone suggested setting NO_EXTERNAL_DEPS=1, which did seem to allow it to get through the process.

Thanks Tom, I'll give that a shot.

I wonder why the docs suggest using zlib? Or maybe it's just an example in case you wish to do that. |

Thanks Tom, that did indeed work. My build script now covers VC6, VC2005 and VC2008 builds. Now I just need to test them all to make sure each build works properly.

Yep, it's already out. I just got the src and bin. I guess I'll try the script out on it as well and let you know. Again, thanks for the help. Now we just need ASF to fix their docs. |

Ok, while Tom's proceedure works great for 2.2.12, it doesn't seem to work for 2.2.13. The zlib and openssl builds go through fine, but when I go to build Apache I'm getting this (doesn't matter whether or not I delete aprutil.dep):
| Code: | if exist .\Release\apr_dbd_mysql-1.dll.manifest mt.exe -manifest .\Relea
se\apr_dbd_mysql-1.dll.manifest -outputresource:.\Release\apr_dbd_mysql-1.dll;2
echo Helper for Post-build step > ".\Release\postbld.dep"
cd ..
cd dbm
for %d in () do NMAKE -nologo -f apr_dbm_%d.mak CFG="apr_dbm_%d - Win
32 Release" RECURSE=0
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'for' : return code '0x3020302'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\PROGRA~1\MIAF9D~1\VC98\BIN\NMAKE.EXE' : return co
de '0x2'
Stop.

Ok, that worked. Thanks Greg.
One other thing I will mention, just because I'm anal, if you view the resulting Apache22\bin folder in Tiles view (or view the properties of), the apr_dbd_odbc_-1.dll and the openssl.exe files are the only two that don't have version information. While I don't think that's a problem, it was noticable. |

Let's go all the way, nor does mod_deflate or mod_ssl
they are built outside of the box and no one chose to push the RC file into the build I muster. Openssl kind of surprises me since the DLLs do have it.
Now, really want to be shocked?  take a deep look at your bin/zlib1.dll .. which is it? 1.2.2 or 1.2.3? hard to know when it lists both if you did not gather and build yourself. |
