I have had difficulties building APR 1.0.0 on Win32. I am trying to
build in the Visual Studio IDE rather than from the command line. (I have done this successfully before with previous releases of APR; I have installed awk.exe, etc.) But there seem to be some unresolved issues with the 1.0.0 build.


I have both Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual Studio .NET 2003 available, and have tried both, with similar results. Here is exactly what I got using Visual Studio 6.0.

I found that opening the apr-util-1.0.0/aprutil.dsw workspace and building as described in http://apr.apache.org/compiling_win32.html only works partially.

First, I had to rename the unzipped directories by removing the '-1.0.0' suffix before I could open the aprutil.dsw successfully.

Having done that, I tried building the static libraries, in Debug mode.

The following libraries built successfully in apr/LibD:

   apr-1.lib
   apr_app-1.lib
   apriconv-1.lib

but apr-util.lib did not; it encountered the following errors:

xlate.c
C:\ORG\apache\apr-util\xlate\xlate.c(181) : error C2198: 'apr_iconv_close' : too few actual parameters
C:\ORG\apache\apr-util\xlate\xlate.c(182) : error C2198: 'apr_iconv_open' : too few actual parameters
C:\ORG\apache\apr-util\xlate\xlate.c(182) : warning C4047: '=' : 'void *' differs in levels of indirection from 'int '
apr_xml.c
Generating Code...
Error executing cl.exe.


By excluding xlate.c from the build, and also the ldap_*.c files, I was able to get an apr-util.lib generated; there were lots of multiply defined warnings for symbols also defined in apr-1.lib.


Then I tried the dynamic libraries (project libaprutil). It failed immediately with:


--------------------Configuration: libapr - Win32 Debug-------------------
Creating apr.h from apr.hw
Creating Version Resource
Compiling resources...
C:\ORG\apache\apr\libapr.rc (3): error RC2127 : version WORDs separated by commas expected
C:\ORG\apache\apr\libapr.rc (3): error RC2167 : unrecognized VERSIONINFO field; BEGIN or comma expected
Error executing rc.exe.


libaprutil-1.dll - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
