The project files for the 2.4.x branch I am using at the moment are here:
https://github.com/Jan-E/mod_h2/commit/b370975acbf1366e0c56d967a909795bdc3e74a2

However, I cannot tell for sure mod_proxy_http.so works, because I do not
use it. mod_http2.so v1.5.5 is running fine since yesterday (VC9, x86 and
VC11, x64)

Although I've tweaked them for the past 10 years for separate APR vs httpd
builds, my headless build environments all had relied on .mak files.

CMake is essentially there, but I would never have figured out what httpd
was doing if I couldn't easily bring in httpd project files into Visual
Studio '98 a long time ago,, instrument it for browser source code
references, and toggle JIT debugging and step through within a few hours of
first digging into httpd 1.3.10.

I hope we keep things that simple, zero-intervention httpd builds, and
GUI/guided build environments such as visual studio, eclipse, etc

Yet they are still the preferred way of building Apache by the people at
Apachelounge. And the .mak files are preferred by Gregg at Apachehaus.

As Stefan points out, that was already solved for the CMakeLists.txt...
if you consider it an 'improper' cmake implementation, I'm sure you can't
wait to post your patches to correct that.

Purging .dsp/.mak/.dep arrives with httpd 2.6/3.0.

We try not to be a$$es to our users as they upgrade from 2.2.31 to 2.2.32,
or from 2.4.20 to 2.4.21, so we ensure that the package remains buildable
from one subversion release to another... particularly because users often
pick up the latest subversion release to obtain security fixes, and we want
that transition from one to the next subversion release to involve as little
disruption as possible. This is across our users who are on windows, or
or linux, or any of a number of other architectures.

The .dsp files become irrelevant in this day and age, the legacy environment
it maps to is entirely dead and beyond availability, but our next chance to
fully
transition to cmake comes with the next major.minor version bump.

it should be in cmakelist in the apache svn.
