Does that definitely work? I tried -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 and it failed: https://github.com/apache/httpd/actions/runs/26754488163/job/78850661003 > PS.

The Windows CI started failing in early May and I'm pretty sure it was not the relevant commit to trunk which triggered that, but an image change: https://github.com/apache/httpd/actions/workflows/windows.yml?query=branch%3Atrunk Regards, Joe
