http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12885 windows 2000 build information: mod_ssl, bison, etc. Summary: windows 2000 build information: mod_ssl, bison, etc. Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.0.40 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Build AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was able to build apache2.0.40 with mod_ssl today, but only with some effort. I'd like to submit a bug to have the compile page: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/platform/win_compiling.html modified to reflect the experience. Here are the things I learned: 1) if compiling mod_ssl, you will need (in addition to awk) bison, flex, and sed. I think this is vital to mention -- I didn't download the SDK, so maybe that's why I was missing bison. I understood the sentence The Platform SDK files distributed with Visual C++ 6.0 and later are sufficient, so users of later version may skip this requirement. to mean "you don't need to install anything if you're using VC++ 6.0", so I may have been mistaken. 2) there is a common version of bison compiled natively for windows floating around that will give you the error: /usr/local/share/bison.simple: No such file or directory. *this is not an apache bug*, but rather a bug in the bison you've downloaded. My guess is that this is some cygwin deal. If you grab this guy's bison: http://www.monmouth.com/~wstreett/lex-yacc/lex-yacc.html you'll still need bison.simple, but at least it's a non-qualified path, so you can place it into the modules\ssl directory and it will compile 3) However, if you use this bison it has at least two more problems: a) it produces output files named y_tab.h and y_tab.c instead of y.tab.h and y.tab.c (that is, with a leading underscore rather than a dot). I directly hacked mod_ssl.mak to use the underscore names and it was fine. b) after you fix this, you'll get the cryptic error: ssl_expr_scan.c lex.ssl_expr_yy.c(1753) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before 'consta nt' This is caused by (I assume) bison doing a #define str 1 in the file ssl_expr_scan.c and then later (lines 1750 - 1760 passim) trying to use "str" as a paramater to the yy_scan_str function. I changed the "str" in the function and parameter to good old "s" and things worked fine. Once I did these tweaks, I could successfully compile the whole thing. So my process was: step 1) compile in visual C++ using the InstallBin target until it dies on ssl step 2) manually hack the files as described above step 3) run nmake from the command line: C:\build\httpd-2.0.40\modules\ssl>nmake -f mod_ssl.mak CFG="mod_ssl - Win32 Debu g" RECURSE=0 .\Debug\mod_ssl.so to get mod_ssl.so to compile step 4) go back to VC++ and chose "build apache.exe" (not, obviously, "rebuild" since it would wipe out my mods in step 3) and everything worked great. It would have saved me a few hours if the page had some war stories on it, though in general this was a pretty easy install :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
