correction: regarding needing to exclude zlib, that was apparently due to an error on my part. I have now gotten apache 2.2.14 to compile with openssl 0.9.8l and zlib.
So I am amending my instructions to these: Yes you can compile apache 2.2.14 with openssl-0.9.8l and zlib with vs2008 professional. These instructions are correct but it's possible to trip on some details in executing them. So I am adding a bit more detail. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/platform/win_compiling.html I have visual studio professional 2008 (v9) installed on 2003. and I had windows sdk 7 installed, should this make a difference. I 'registered" sdk 7 with visual studio. I have no idea if that was necessary. I did install this version of awk per the instructions. http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~bwk/btl.mirror/awk95.exe I deleted some awk and gawk items from a cygwin install on this machine. I used this checksum program http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=B3C93558-31B7-47E2-A663-7365C1686C08&displaylang=en I used the cygwin patch program. I had the activestate perl version 5.8.9. I used the visual studio 2008 tools, command prompt to do further work. Having extracted the apache source somewhere (check checksum before extracting), Download zlib to a directory somewhere. http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz, check checksum. Create the directory zlib under the existing srclib directory in the apache source. xcopy all the zlib-1.2.3 content to the srclib\zlib directory. Being in the srclib\zlib\win32 directory, download this patch: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/patches_applied/zlib-1.2.3-vc32-2005-rcver.patch Apply it: patch -s < zlib-1.2.3-vc32-2005-rcver.patch Then being above that directory, in the srclib/zlib directory, issue these commands from the vs2008 command prompt: nmake -f win32\Makefile.msc nmake -f win32\Makefile.msc test Download openssl-0.9.8l http://www.openssl.org/source/ to a directory somewhere Check the checksum and gzip -d and tar -xvf . Create a directory openssl under the already existing srclib directory. Copy all the files from the subdirectory openssl-0.9.8l to the srclib\openssl directory (eg using xcopy src dest /s/c ). Download this patch to the srclib\openssl directory: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/patches_applied/openssl-0.9.8k-vc32.patch It works without modification. To apply, do this being in the srclib\openssl directory: patch -s < openssl-0.9.8k-vc32.patch Then being in the srclib\openssl directory (this command has to be customized for your situation: [For comparison, the actual installed location of compiled zlib in my case was e:\apachezlib\httpd-2.2.14\srclib\zlib] perl Configure no-rc5 no-idea enable-mdc2 enable-zlib VC-WIN32 -I/apachezlib/httpd-2.2.14/srclib/zlib -L/apachezlib/httpd-2.2.14/srclib/zlib ms\do_masm.bat nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak If you get link complaints about multiply defined items I think (but I could be wrong) it probably means the zlib patch didn't get applied correctly. I didn't tackle mod_dbd or mod_authn_dbm And then one can proceed to the top source level and do: nmake /f Makefile.win _apacher and follow the rest of the instructions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
