Hello, if possible I try to develop on Windows, then deploy on Linux or Solaris for production. This worked very well in the past with a self compiled environment (VC6). But as some components are rather old by now I would like to recompile with recent versions of apache, perl, mod_perl, openssl and some DBI-drivers but I had some problems with apache 2.2.11. I have VC6 with SP5 installed, plus the 2003 Platform SDK update from Microsoft. Perl 5.10.0 and openssl 0.9.8k compile just fine but when it comes to Apache 2.2.11 or 2.2.10 I get lots of errors in the APR part of the build. 2.2.9 seems to be the last version that builds o.k.
My question is twofold: First, any ideas what might be going wrong? As there are some (VC6?) compiled versions around, this should be possible. Or, as second choice, what would be a good working combination of precompiled versions? In the past I had tried XAMPP but had some problems with DBI and openssl when adding modules that didn't come with XAMPP. These problems were gone when I compiled everything myself and I don't want them to come back. As I understand it (I am no C programmer) it is important for some parts of the chain to be built with the same compiler/same settings and as it seems impossible to get everything I need from a single (binary-)source I keep trying to compile it myself. Any recommendations? Thanks -Michael p.s.: of course I can send the detailed error messages but the output is quite long, so it might be better to send as PM on request.
