Topic: Buliding Apache 2.0.55 with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

[Blaah2006]

Hi all,

First of all, sorry for posting this in here, I know 2.0.55 is not 2.2, but it is the version I need to build unfortunately.

I am trying to create a release of Apache 2.0.55 from the source code. I was following this guide:
http://www.devside.net/web/server/windows/apache

And I keep running into two problems:



1) I get these:

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'wldap32.lib'

I installed the latest Platform SDK and ran the path registration tool provided with it. Then, I manually made sure that both 'wldap32.h' and 'wldap32.lib' are included in Visual Studio paths. I tried all sorts of settings but this presists. It refuses to link the library. I looked through the forums and searched online as much as I could, but I am still stuck. Its probably something simple that I am missing from staring at it for too long.



2) This isn't really a problem, but Makefile.win seems to have a syntax error on line 129 where the line
!IF "$(MAKE)" == "NMAKE"
should be
!IF "($MAKE)" == "NMAKE"
Basically, I just wanted to confirm this. I should just go ahead and fix it, right?



Any input would be of great help. Thank you!

PS: If anyone has good instructions on how to build the thing in Visual C++ 6.0 (from VS 6.0) instead, I can do that too. I was running into similar issues, and overall would prefer to get it to work with 2005, but as long as the job is done I don't really care.

Just as I about give up and resort to hoping someone replies in here, I find a clue

That's horrible. Hope it helps someone save some time searching. Spaces are evil.
