Jeff, The essential problem is that there is no make distributed with that compiler, so I don't see folks building httpd with it any time soon. A most unfortunate omission.
On the other hand, simple modules (even mod_aspdotnet and the corresponding apache.web.cpp files), or apxs, could easily use the free compiler. I'm working on an alternate build for mod_aspdotnet to compile with either the full dev studio or only the free compiler. Batch/shell script is a generally lousy build environment, but for this case, I'm thinking it's ideal :) Bill At 01:51 PM 8/9/2004, Jeff White wrote: >For Windows .NET Framework 1.1 >and Windows Win32 usage: > >Any one ran _any_ compile tests for >usage in Apache Windows Win32 >development? > >July 2004 > ><quote> > >The Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 >includes the core tools developers need >to compile and link C++-based applications >for Windows and the .NET Common Language >Runtime: > >Snip > >The Visual C++ Toolkit 2003, version 1.01 >(released July 6, 2004) supplants version 1.0 >(released April 16, 2004).
