There are various flaws in the build, report them to d...@httpd or collect them in bugzilla reports, and mind the existing reports which might already solve your problem. Since there is no MinGW port maintainer, this often falls apart, sorry there is nothing we can do if a platform's community does not participate with or engage the developers with patches. > Also if you'd try to compile mod_perl it will try to run "./configure" > on the Apache sources but that will fail on Win32 because 1. there is no > Configure in the win32 Apache sources and 2.

You don't use the -win32-src package because that package is for building on the Microsoft Windows platform. If you want to build for a faux-unix platform you would obtain the usual tarball.

The other option, if you didn't specifically want to use StrawberryPerl, is to build perl, apache & mod_perl with VC++ 2008 Express.

I'd like to know if it's possible to build mod_perl on Win32; I'd like
to use mod_perl with StrawberryPerl. It seems to be that the only way
that could be done is to compile Apache also with MinGW, and that's not
possible because of limited support for Windows Shared Memory in MinGW
Here is how I installed StrawberryPerl + mod_perl + apache2 on Windows
(tested onVista):
1. Apache
Go to http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
Click on "/Win32 Binary including OpenSSL 0.9.8i (MSI Installer) /"
Some recommend to install it in a directory without space, although I
did not do that and it still work.
2. Perl
Go to http://strawberryperl.com/ and install the latest kit
3. I then use the script send in attachement to install all modules I
need, e.g. perl install_modules.pl
At the top of the script you will see how to get mod_perl2 and various
other stuff I need for my project. Just the lines for the modules you do
not need.
HTH,
Cheers, JD.

Re: mod_perl on win32
I'd suggest to get your mp2 up with the following stack: Apache22 Windows binary ActivePerl binary precompiled mod_perl2 + libapreq2 from the repo Michiel Beijen wrote: Hi all, I'd like to know if it's possible to build mod_perl on Win32; I'd like to use mod_perl with StrawberryPerl. It seems to be that the only way that could be done is to compile Apache also with MinGW, and that's not possible because of limited support for Windows Shared Memory in MinGW. Also if you'd try to compile mod_perl it will try to run "./configure" on the Apache sources but that will fail on Win32 because 1. there is no Configure in the win32 Apache sources and 2. Windows will try to execute "." which is not exactly an executable file... Does anyone have pointers or tips? Thanks in advance,

Due to licensing requirements you could not bundle ActiveState in an open source product; therefore the Strawberry requirement. It is just too bad that ApachePerl is not alive anymore. Any tips for compiling mod_perl with Strawberry are still welcome! Regards, Michiel

I'm not sure if the relevant ppm package: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/install.html#PPM_Packages for mod_perl and libapreq2 would be compatible, but it would probably be worth trying. -- best regards, Randy
