Topic: Apache compilation Error with Visual studio 2015 (VC14)

[pachaiyappan]

Hi Team,

compiled Apache 2.4.23 with Visual studio 2015 :
• Done project conversion with VC2008, loaded the converted project in visual studio 2015 (VC14).- No issues.
• done build solution with release mode in VC14 , facing lots of errors.

Same project setup compiled in Visual studio 2010:
• Done project conversion with VC2008, loaded the converted project in visual studio 2010.- No issues.
• done build solution with release mode and compilation went fine and all the files and folder created in Apache 24.

The following are the errors observed in the build log.

* C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets(392,5): warning MSB8028: The intermediate directory (.\Release\) contains files shared from another project (ApacheMonitor.vcxproj). This can lead to incorrect clean and rebuild behavior.
- Apache monitor exe was not created .

This can lead to incorrect clean and rebuild behavior.

Friends please advice to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Assuming you do a GUI build.

Tools/Options/Project Solutions/Build and Run : Be sure that "maximum number of parallel projects builds" is set to 1

Apache monitor and VC14, there are some posts here to solve this.

You could literally search all day for this:

ApacheMonitor.c(296): warning C4996: 'GetVersionExA': [b]was declared deprecated
Ignore, it's just a warning and what it's looking for is no longer valid, like ending when Windows ME went EOL.

This on the other hand
CVTRES : fatal error CVT1100: duplicate resource. type:MANIFEST, name:1, language:0x0409
LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt
The best way I found to fix this is to just // comment out one line in apachemonitor.rc

Hi Smith,
Thanks for the reply. its reduced 2 errors still facing 19 errors. No imporment in apache monitor.exe. Do I need to compile nghttp2 ? and zlib. I just downloaded and copied under srclib . how to clear the cmake error?. Please advice.

smith,
after apply the changes suggested by you the apachemonitor.exe created in the following location but not moved under Apache24 folder.

ApacheMonitor.c(296): warning C4996: 'GetVersionExA': was declared deprecated
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\um\sysinfoapi.h(433): note: see declaration of 'GetVersionExA'
ApacheMonitor.vcxproj -> C:\httpd_2423\support\win32\.\Release\ApacheMonitor.exe
ApacheMonitor.vcxproj -> .\Release/ApacheMonitor.pdb (Full PDB)

While copying the files from release directory to Apache24 if any one file is missing then the copy getting exit.
And remaining files are not getting copied:(. Could you please advise.

Thanks,
Anitha.S

Go back and read what I wrote about that "warning", it is not an error
https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=34264#34258

Better yet, start fresh and only build apache 2.4 with just the apr* folder in srclib. Once you get through that you can start searching for and reading how to build the other things

[Anitha]

ok Smith thanks. Let me try with fresh setup and follow the steps provided by you.

I will get back to you the status.

Thanks,

Hi Smith / Steffen,

Thanks a lot for the wonderful support. I have successfully completed the Apache 2.4.23 compilation with VC 14.

* Tried with fresh setup and applied all the changes suggested by Smith and Steffen.
* Executed the Apache.sln with apr, apr-util,apr iconv binaries.
* Added the pcre and openssl and then executed build solution.
* Added vcvar32.bat path
* finally compiled the Apache and output folder has all the compiled binaries.

Thanks a lot team.With the help of Apache Forum support team have compiled the Apache successfully.

Thanks,
