Hi guys,
I'm experiencing some problems in adding my own module to Apache. First, let me say that I'm developing under Vista (this means no Dev-C++ but Visual C++ only, there exist problems with MinGW under Vista) and I want to make it working with Apache 2.2.4 (bins downloaded from apache.org). THe point is, I'm building the module against the include files inside the Apache dir, but in the end when adding finally the module I get the (in)famous message "Can't locate API module structure etc. etc. etc.".
This means I have to rebuild the whole Apache with my module?
Thanx |

re: "This means I have to rebuild the whole Apache with my module? "
No, you should not need to rebuild Apache.
The message indicates that Apache cannot find the entry point in your module which is defined by: | Code: | module AP_MODULE_DECLARE_DATA your_module = {
STANDARD20_MODULE_STUFF,
...

In Visual C++, make sure you have the following preprocessor definitions when you build you module:
The 'stock' Apache binaries from apache.org are built with Visual C++ 6.0, so you will want to use VC6 to build your module.
FYI - the Apache binaries available here on Apache Lounge are built with Visual C++ 2005 (i.e. VC8), so you could build your module with either VC6 or VC8 if you use this one.
If you choose to use the Apache Lounge binaries, save the contents of your existing 'stock' \include and \lib directories because the Apache Lounge 2.2.4 binaries do not install these.
