 Posted: Thu 15 Jun '17 3:42 Post subject: libaprutil-1.dll does not get build |
 |
|
Split from https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=7621
One change in apr-util does not seem to be documented: libaprutil.vcxproj has to link the additional library xml.lib now, otherwise libaprutil-1.dll does not get built.
Error messages like:
| Quote: | | error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol XML_ParserCreate referenced in function apr_xml_parser_create |
Just converting the libaprutil.dsp is not enough, because it does not link the xml.lib. To make building with the GUI painless the libaprutil.dsp has to be adjusted.
BTW: I checked how this was solved in the CMake build. CMake does not link xml.lib, but builds libexpat.lib and links that lib. libexpat.lib also provides the necessary functions XML_ParserCreate() and the like. |

| I also had some trouble with building apr-1.lib, because srclib/apr/include/apr_escape_test_char.h is not included in the tarball and did not get generated initially. |

Assuming you use apr/apr-util 1.6. Not seen you issues here. Did not have to change libaprutil.dsp. As far as I know apr_escape_test_char.h is generated and was never included.
Btw.
Expat is now included any more and has to be in an other place with 1.6:
Note in makefile.win:
# APU 1.6 (and up?)
!IF EXIST("srclib\apr-util\xml\xml.mak")
EXPAT=xml
EXPBCK = ..
!ELSE
EXPAT=xml\expat\lib
EXPBCK = ..\..\..
!ENDIF
In cvtdsp.pl is now an option to change e.g. the new location in apache.dsw |

cvtdsp.pl -ossl11
when building with OpenSSL 1.1.0
This is documented and handles the new xml.dsp location also.
cvtdsp.pl -apr16
for OpenSSL 1.0.2 (or none) but apr/u 1.6.x.
This is not documented you're right, I'll figure out some wording and add it in for 2.4.next.
But why apr_escape_test_char.h wasn't being generated at first is kind of a surprise since the build is supposed to (in order);
1. create apr.h**
2. compile testchar.exe
3. create apr_escape_test_char.h with testchar.exe
4. compile apr
** I suppose if apr.h exists it will not run the pre-build step. It has to do this in a specific order and the only way it would do that is if all these things were in one single pre-build step. Different versions of VC++ would fire off pre-build steps in different orders which I found strange but was the case and apr_escape_test_char.h requires apr.h. This was also the case in apr 1.5 so nothing changed there.

| @gregg: both failures happened when building Apr, Apr-iconv and Apr-util separately, not as part of Apache. Try converting aprutil.dsw in srclib/apr-util. |

Not sure I understand Jan. If I convert the apu dsw/dsp to sln/vc?proj in VC there should be no problem because the xml.dsp's new location is correct in aprutil.dsw.
| Code: | ###############################################################################
Project: "xml"=".\xml\xml.dsp" - Package Owner=<4>

as opposed to it's pre 1.6 location of .\xml\expat\lib\xml.dsp |

When you build the solution in the aprutil.sln that you have created the xml.lib will be built. But it is not linked in libaprutil.vcxproj. And the apr_escape_test_char.h is not created either.
Did you try building Release|Win32 or Release|x64 in aprutil.sln? If you do not add xml.lib manually to libaprutil.vcxproj you'll end up with 10 unresolved externals, starting with
| Code: | Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol XML_ParserCreate referenced in function apr_xml_parser_create libaprutil N:\httpd\srclib\apr-util\apr_xml.obj 1 |
and ending with
| Code: | Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol XML_ErrorString referenced in function apr_xml_parser_geterror libaprutil N:\httpd\srclib\apr-util\apr_xml.obj 1

It never did have a specific link, VC is able to figure it out because it knows via the dsw/sln that it's there and is part of the solution (implied /libpath).
It always worked for me in VC9 which is what I test dsw/dsp conversions in because it takes forever on my computer to convert in VC>9.
However, I did a complete VC14 sln/vcxproj build of Apache 2.4.26-dev and apr/apu 1.6 and it worked fine there, which uses the very same aprutil/libaprutil dsp/vc?proj files in srclib/apr-util.
Curious, which VC version? 15? I have only built the complete Apache package w/ apr/apu 1.6 at the command line. |

Ok, I did this yesterday w/ VC15.
Right off the start I forgot to add expat and yes, lib/aprutil-1.dlls would not build obviously. Once I added the expat source it built fine in x86. [1]
The only real problem I had was with the x64 build, after conversion x64 projects were set to VC10 which I do not have loaded on any machine so it would not build.
However, retargeting a few of the projects (didn't have to do them all for a bare minimum build), it built just fine. We have no way to control this that I know of in the dsw/dsp so we're just going to have to deal with it. [2]
[1] It would be nice to have a warning like we do in httpd if expat is missing and just fail before trying to compile anything, like we do in the command line build. We also have the _try-this-and-that in the httpd build but those do not fire off till the very end which I guess is ok cause we have to build all the other stuff and lib/aprutil-1.dlls are built last.
[2] We may be able to have a post conversion script to change this in the sln/vcxproj files. Of course this would require saving/closing the solution, running the script and opening the solution again but that is easier than retargeting all the projects inside the VC IDE.
It would be easiest the just delete the x64 option and then make a new one like you do in httpd.
And that darn dbd_freetds conector project got missed in the dsw. Nick removed the dsps and I didn't notice he missed the dsw when I then ripped it out of makefile.win. Oh well, not fatal, just startling, fix in r1799251 for apu 1.6.1. |
