It looks like a possible expat build issue. Seems to apply to the expat test suite. You can toggle building tests in expat and obtain the necessary libs separately. I have no such issues; building expat 2.2.0 my working expat is; cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=..\thirdparty \ -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo \ -D CMAKE_COLOR_MAKEFILE=OFF . nmake all install I apply one patch to cmake to compile and link RelWithDebInfo correctly to emit .pdb's (It hadn't behaved as documented). This all is working under both Studio 2010 and 2015. FWIW - libxml2 is both a supported substitute for expat in apr-2, as well as a requirement for mod_proxy_html, which is why I'm leaning toward ignoring expat in the future and having both rely exclusively on libxml2. > Agreed.

I also have this which illustrates windows builds; https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/WindowsTrunkCompilation Hope that proves interesting/useful.
