Correct. I'm not claiming this is win32-specific, it only happens to show up on that and other edge cases. > branches/2.4.x/modules/http2/h2_filter.c Again, a C89 regression breaking the candidate, but in an experimental module that we don't promise will always build. nghttp2 is filled with C99 code, AIUI - due to bad decisions about basic C types - that library can only build. > branches/2.4.x/modules/http2/mod_http2.dsp Looking good. > For remove mod_lbmethod-rr: > branches/2.4.x/Makefile.win > branches/2.4.x/Readme.cmake > branches/2.4.x/Apache.dsw > branches/2.4.x/Apache-apr2.dsw This may be reverted of course, if someone believes we should persist this non-compileable example. > And a bunch of .dep and mak files added This simplifies the process for users who don't want to go through a manual process of converting archaic project files to Windows. This is the same structure as in every httpd 2.2 tarball. But an explanation is in order... I haven't directly used these build files -myself- for creating anything other than ASF binaries in over a decade. They were not suited for building component-by-component, only for building the whole shooting match at once. I've been building each component (pcre, expat, zlib, apr etc etc) for forever now. The .mak/.dep files and Makefile.win (which invokes these) supports only the srclib/ subcomponents structure. You'll find Windows .mak/.dep files in those apr source projects as well. So this change neither breaks nor fixes - it is an alternative to a manual conversion - it merely simplifies building on Windows - until cmake builds are considered the replacement. The addition of these to the svn, rather than only a win32 source tarball, has a lengthy discussion and rational in dev@ archive already. But I have no preference as a user, myself - my entire interest lies in cmake.
