So maybe it's time to get cracking ;-) Bill The apxs win32 package does work for 2.2. I'm not sure the best way to incorporate this into the httpd build; as a first step, I've placed at http://people.apache.org/~randyk/ an install_win32_apxs.zip which can be used as nmake -f install_win32_apxs.mak INSTDIR=C:\Path\to\Apache2.x to install apxs, apr-config, and apu-config. This assumes a point in the installation when Apache has been installed (eg, towards the end of httpd's Makefile.win). Compared to the apxs utility at http://perl.apache.org/dist/win32-bin/ this version is more minimalistic (no user prompts, etc.); the modules used are included with modern versions of Perl. One thing it does assume is that Perl is in the PATH; I'm not sure how to check for this in the Makefile. -- best regards, Randy

It does not, its crafted from libtool-junk last time I looked, and requires apr similarly provisioned (apr-config script et al). Better that we recraft Randy's work into an apr bit, and apu bit (and submit those over to apr), and either "fix" the libtool-specific crap in apxs.in, or use Randy's httpd bits as well. Bill

Fwd: apxs on Win32
Something test-dev has kicked around that we should pick back up...

apxs on win32
Hi I have succesfully built httpd-2.0.35 on win2k, but there is no apxs program built. so I cannot build modperl2 for instance does anyone know where is apxs for win32 ? thanks pascal
