I've been trying to build mod_perl-2.0.2 with httpd-2.2.0 on Win32 and
found that it doesn't work very smoothly.
First of all, "perl Configure.pl --with-apache2=C:/apache2" had trouble
finding the Apache.exe because it is now called httpd.exe; I later found
that there is a --with-apache-prog argument to help out there.
Then "perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=C:/apache2" threw a wobbly
complaining that it couldn't find libapr.lib and libaprutil.lib. These
are now called libapr-1.lib and libaprutil-1.lib; copying them (and
their DLL's) to the names expected by Makefile.PL sorted that out, but
it isn't ideal.
After that it all built OK, but "nmake test" complains:
mod_perl 2 was built against Apache sources, we don't know where
httpd/apxs executables are, therefore skipping the test suite execution
at C:\Temp\mod_perl-2.0.2\Apache-Test\lib/Apache/TestConfig.pm line 380.
I'm not sure how to get around that one.
Is it supposed to work with httpd-2.2.0 yet or not?
The README only mentions 2.0.55, but then again, it also describes
itself as "2.0-tobe", so this is possibly out-of-date. (The STATUS file
is also out-of-date.)
