Lots of those. But what is a makefile? :) (read below) <quote> Starting with the Visual Studio 2005 release, the Microsoft build engine black box is extracted from Visual Studio. The new build engine, MSBuild, becomes extensible and available for all since it will ship with the .NET Framework. Snip MSBuild is a technology installed with the CLR in Visual Studio 2005 and "Longhorn." Its goal is to replace makefiles by project files written in XML that let you build large-scale systems. </quote> Overview of MSBuild, Part 1: From a Project Author's Perspective http://msdn.microsoft.com/longhorn/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnlong/html/msbuildpart1.asp Now ASF has XML for Windows installation, Windows building, where are the Windows httpd XML configs? :) > and awk though, the end user could > build all of apache with this compiler. And with the files from the .NET Framework SDK, one can create a simple Apache CPP module that loads .NET Framework assemblies written in CSharp (C#) or VB or whatever. Jeff
