Decided to take a stab at it so I tried building with Mingw instead of VS 2008 (takes hours to install on my PC for some reason). I think someone mentioned here that you have to compile everything with the same compiler used to compile Apache and Python. But that's not entirely true as long as you are using plain C and not C++. GCC and MSVC compiler uses different name mangling conventions for C++ which is why you will usually run into trouble if you link to a C++ DLL module compiled using MSVC. I have successfully built Win32 programs that linked to MSVC compiled DLL's and .lib files in the past. You just need to use a couple of tools to create the appropriate format libraries that Mingw ld can use. I am able to get it to compile with a couple of warnings about redefined #define. The problem is when I try to link it with the Apache libs. The Python 2.6.1 binary from from python.org already has a libpython26.a and I only needed to create the import libraries for Apache. So, I went into Apache2.2/bin and did: pexports libhttpd.dll > libhttpd.dll.def dlltool -D libhttpd.dll -d libhttpd.dll.def -l libhttpd.dll.a pexports libapr-1.dll > libapr-1.dll.def dlltool -D libapr-1.dll -d libapr-1.dll.def -l libapr-1.dll.a pexports libaprutil-1.dll > libaprutil-1.dll.def dlltool -D libaprutil-1.dll -d libaprutil-1.dll.def -l libaprutil-1.dll.a My gcc command line was: gcc -shared -o mod_wsgi.so mod_wsgi.c -I "C:/Python26/include" -I "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/include" -L "C:/Python26/libs" -L "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/bin" -lpython26 -lhttpd -lapr-1 -laprutil-1 The errors I got relate to failure to link _imp_ap* and _imp_apr* functions. Maybe I'm just missing a command line option or a couple of Windows specific defines. IIRC you need to add __declspec(dllexport) to such functions. But I'm too drunk to figure it out at the moment. Anyway, I hope this exercise becomes a useful starting point for others wanting a mod_wsgi for Windows. -- Best Regards, Nimrod A.
