Hi Geoff,
Unfortunately, in an effort to keep users up-to-date
(read: help build Mr Gates a bigger house), there's quite
a few incompatible changes between VC++ 5 and 6. Win32
Apache builds with 6 - I believe it can also do so with
5, but I'm not sure how (Bill Rowe probably knows). I've
heard that there's a compatibility kit one can get for
free from Microsoft's site to help in compiling things
built for VC++ 6 using VC++ 5.
You might have better luck using VC++ 7 - there's a
free version of this available from Microsoft's site
with a .NET software development kit. This I think can
be used to compile Apache without change (the
precompiled packages at http://www.devside.net/ use this, I
believe). I don't use VC++ 7 because, once again, there's
compatibility issues between 6 and 7, which would affect
the ppm packages I build for ActivePerl (which is built
with 6). However, if you build everything (including Perl)
with 7, this shouldn't be a problem.
Welcome to the Dark Side :)
