Topic: Compiling mod_vhs and Apache 2.2/Windows ?

[jamaica]

I tried to compile mod_vhs with VS2005 with the following command:
cl /I "C:\httpd-2.2.3\srclib\apr\include" mod_vhs.c

This is the output i get:
mod_vhs.c
c:\httpd-2.2.3\srclib\apr\include\apr_errno.h(52) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'apr_strerror'
c:\httpd-2.2.3\srclib\apr\include\apr_errno.h(52) : error C2059: syntax error : ';'
c:\httpd-2.2.3\srclib\apr\include\apr_errno.h(52) : error C2059: syntax error : 'type'
c:\httpd-2.2.3\srclib\apr\include\apr_general.h(126) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ')' before identifier 'n'
c:\httpd-2.2.3\srclib\apr\include\apr_general.h(126) : error C2081: 'size_t' : name in formal parameter list illegal
c:\httpd-2.2.3\srclib\apr\include\apr_general.h(126) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'n'
...
...
...
error count exceeds 100; stopping compilation

I had previously succesfully compiled Apache in the c:\httpd-2.2.3 directory.
Can anyone give a hint here, as to what i am doing wrong?

mod_vhs is at http://www.oav.net/projects/mod_vhs/

At the very least, you'll need to define the symbol WIN32. You should add the compile switch /DWIN32.

You will also probably need to add additional switches to make it a shared library (/LD) and to output a .so file instead of an .exe file (/Femod_svh.so).

I noticed that the current version of mod_vhs.c, version 1.0.30, also includes a lot of files which aren't available on Windows - like sys/mman.h.

I expect you'll have to make some changes to it if you are trying to build the latest version of mod_vhs for Apache on Windows.

any progress? I'd be interested in using this module if it could respectably replace mod_vd

@jamaica: hey, wondering if you'd solved the problem since you hadn't posted back

I'm really interested in this module, so I look forward to your excellent work

No unfortunately Apache on Windows has proven extremely unstable for me, so I have decided to go with a FreeBSD installation.
