Apache :: Module with Visual Studio 08 C++

Hello.

After I failed under Eclipse I tried VS08 C++ and the Apache-Source (2.2.13). This is it:

What kind of Project must the Projectmap have for new modules? Windows Forms Application?

And how to include the APR? The Compiler always throws some errors.

Thanks,
Zod

what module are you trying to build?

@Gregg I think he wants to build his own module and aks which "template" hw shall use. e.g. Win32 Console Application
And how to include the APR code into it.

Yes, that's it. In addition: C++ is not the problem and I approximately know which functions must be written (some books helped me out).
But I wanted to make a new module and have no idea what I have to do within Visual Studio. So I hope you can help me out.

it would be a win32 dll project

but typically you do not need to use the IDE, just build from command line is sometimes easier. One could modify an existing .dsp file for some other module, changing paths in the CFLAGS and LIBS & Source filenames lines. I do this at times if I want to use the IDE.

See my second post here for command line example also further below in that thread is about embedding the manifest since I had forgotten about it till later.

From the command line you should have a look at
C:\> cl /?
C:\> link /?

Oh, and 2.2.13 is a bear to build w/o a patch for the makefile.
