Hi Everybody,

I am trying to build 2.2.4 using visual studio 2005 installed. I am actually trying the command line first. Everything seems OK, but the installation directory is not created correctly, but i do not know why. crying for help.

Here the error msg:

re: "the installation directory is not created correctly"

Is the directory C:\Apache22 created at all? or is it created but incorrect somehow?

If you type the nineteen mkdir commands manually are the necessary directories created?

The directory is not created at all.

For a workaround, I created another batch file which creates all the folders first, then I ran the makefile. The result seems good.

Have not tried to start the server yet, but looks like all files are copied to the correct folders.

Still do not understand why
