[users] Building apr on win32

2014-06-12 Thread Christopher Schultz
All,

I'm hoping this is the right mailing list: the apr project seems to have
a dev list but no user one. I'm happy to move if appropriate.

I'm trying to build apr on win32 from the command-line and I'm running
into some resistance. I'm using Visual Studio 12 on Windows 8.1. I have
installed the Windows SDK as well to try to help, but it doesn't seem
to have improved things.

I'm following the instructions found here:
http://apr.apache.org/compiling_win32.html

I have downloaded the ZIP files for apr, apr-util, and apr-iconv and put
them into the requisite directories.

I've run VS's VC\bin\vcvars32.bat to get the build tools in the path,
but I don't have a setenv.bat anywhere (suggested in the above
instructions). When I get to the step where I run msdev (which
basically /does the build/), I can't find the msdev program:

C:\Users\Me\Desktop\apr-utilmsdev aprutil.dsw /MAKE apriconv - Win32
Release
'msdev' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I'm no win32 build expert, but I have quite a bit of experience building
on *NIX systems. Can anyone help me get things going on Windows?

Thanks,
-chris

If you're just trying to build APR components, d...@apr.apache.org is more
appropriate.

If you're trying to build httpd + all the various support libraries, this
mailing list or a forum at http://www.apachelounge.com/ (not affiliated
with the ASF) is okay.
