[meet2sanjay]

Hi All,
I am very new in APACHE 2.3. If anybody have some doucment which can guide me how can i compile APACHE WEB SERVER wtih PHP 5.3 and OpenSSL 1.0.

Please also provide some information such as:
1. System Requirement for APACHE 2.2.21 or higher version comipliation.
2. What are the initial steps.

And other information which you think necessary for me.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

First you need to compile apache. Than php.

For building apache you need to install perl on your system.
You already have installed VC9, you also need the SDK.

I have a build folder on my C drive

Sources you need (source code versions current at this time)

httpd-2.3.16-beta.tar.gz
httpd-2.3.16-beta-deps.tar.gz
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache23

next unpack into apache.2.3.16-beta\srclib
apr-iconv-1.2.1
http://apr.apache.org/download.cgi
after unpacking rename the folder to apr-iconv

OpenSSL 0.9.8r, do not use 1.0 that is not compatible with PHP at the moment.
http://openssl.org/source/
(for me it worked only with winrar, cause there are some symbolic links in the file)
after unpacking rename the folder to openssl

zlib 1.2.5
http://zlib.net/
after unpacking rename the folder to zlib

pcre last version
ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/
after unpacking rename the folder to pcre

now open a command line from VC

Hi James,

I am trying to compile as you suggested above.
But when i execute the command line

cd srclib\zlib
nmake -f win32/Makefile.msc LOC="-DASMV -DASMINF -I." OBJA="inffas32.obj match686.obj"
MT -manifest zlib1.dll.manifest -outputresource:zlib1.dll;2


I am getting follwing error:
NMAKE : fatal error: U1073 don't know how to make 'inffass32.obj'
Stop

Please help.

Thanks & Regards,
Sanjay Kumar

[James Blond]

I'm not sure what happened. Currently I don't have compiler on my system, so I can't try anything at the moment.
Well you could also open srclib\zlib\contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln with your visual studio and compile it. That should work, too.

Hi,

Please tell me, compilation of apache version 2.2.21 would same as version 2.3.
If it is not then please tell me the steps.

Thanks & Regards,
Sanjay Kumar

[glsmith]

Yes it is. But hold on a couple days, 2.2.22 may be on the way.
Also, OpenSSL is at 0.9.8t now.

Really guys your help is very very helpfull to me. Keep helping me like this..

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gawk.htm
Download the binary zip and rename gawk.exe to awk.exe

I have all those files in an extra folder and added it to the %PATH% Variable. See http://geekswithblogs.net/renso/archive/2009/10/21/how-to-set-the-windows-path-in-windows-7.aspx

Hi,
I just wanted to say thanks to all of you. From your help i compiled successfully APACHE now i am going to complile PHP and except the same help there also.

I have a little question. After compilation i found in modules folder two types of file one is .so and other is .pdb.
Could you please tell me what is this pdb file. Do i need these files to create installation(.msi) file.
And also tell me, should i create .msi file after PHP fompilation or right now i can create it.

Thanks,
Sanjay Kumar

[James Blond]

The pdb files are for debugging and usually not needed.
msi files... well most users on apachelounge prefer to have a zip file and not a msi file. I don't see a need to have a msi file unless you want to run something after extracting the files aka installation.

Hi,

I just want to know what is requierement for compiling of PHP.
Is it necessary to have windows server 2008?
Can i compile it on Windows XP?
If yes then how...

Thanks,
Sanjay Kumar

[James Blond]

Sure you can compile php on XP, you need only Visual Studio 2008 (express).

There is very nice Step by step how to: https://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/stepbystepbuild

If you have a question please ask again

[meet2sanjay]

Hi James,

I am follow the same thing which is mentioned in given link. But i am getting following error

'cscript' is not recognized internal or external command.

Thanks & Regards,
Sanjay Kumar

[James Blond]

Well that should be installed by default since SP2 in XP... however here is the download link http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8247

[meet2sanjay]

Hello James,

Thanks for your help. But my problem is still existing.

Actually i have windows XP with SP3. When i run CSCRIPT command on command prompt it works.

But when i set the environment for PHP compilation by the command
setenv /x86 /xp /release

In this environment, I am not able to run the Cscript command. I executed follwing command successfully
1. setenv /x86 /xp /release
2. cd c:\php-sdk\
3. bin\phpsdk_setvars.bat
4. bin\phpsdk_buildtree.bat php53dev
5. cd C:\php-sdk\php53dev\vc9\x86\php5.3

but when i execute the following command
6. buildconf

it throws error that CSCRIPT is not recognized internal or external command.

waiting for respone.

Thanks & Regards,
Sanjay Kumar

[James Blond]

It seems C:\Windows\System32 is not in the %PATH% Variable.

So here the way to avoid this problem
