I've been looking at getting apxs for Win32 working on Apache 2.
There's a number of changes needed due to the current reliance on
libtool, so initially I've tried just a pure Win32 version - if
anyone wants to try it, I've put up two files - Configure.apxs
and apxs.in - at http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/. Running
C:\Some\Path> perl Configure.apxs
(in the same directory as apxs.in) will guess at your Apache2
directory (a --with-apache2=... option can be specified to tell
it explicitly), and then an apxs.bat will be created under
C:\Path\to\Apache2\bin\, along with the associated
C:\Path\to\Apache2\build\config_vars.mk.
I've tried using this for the c-modules tests of perl-framework,
and it seems to work OK, with the following diff applied to
a couple of files under perl-framework/Apache-Test/lib/Apache:

(there's a failure in building one of the tests due to a
missing random-ish function). The tests were configured as
C:\perl-framework> Perl Makefile.PL -apxs C:\Apache2\bin\apxs
-httpd C:\Apache2\bin\Apache.exe
The reason for specifying both -apxs and -httpd is related to the
current Apache-Test using the fact that the apxs variable TARGET
specifies the name of the httpd binary (httpd). On Win32 the
binary is Apache.exe, but changing the value of TARGET on Win32
would break assumptions elsewhere that the Apache configuration
file (httpd.conf on Win32 as well) is TARGET.conf. How to handle
this better should be looked at.
Merging this Win32 apxs.in and the one in the httpd sources would
possible, if that was desired.
