Does anyone know if anything happenened with this path? The situation with the autoconf toolset has definately improved with the release of msys-DTK package. I find myself in the situation of needing to build native win32 apache and mod_jk2 without access to the Microsoft compilers. It would seem that if these changes were ever created, they were not folded back into the apache/APR trees as working with MinGW 3.0rc4 / MSYS 1.0.1 chokes in configuring 'srclib/apr' (first fails to find a threading model chasing around for the non-existent pthread.h headers, then bails out after failing to find any support shared memory). I'm very new to both MinGW and the win32 environment in general, so any information on whether attempting to build apache2 with MinGW would be an effort that one would expect to work in the first place. -- Mark Evenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "A screaming comes across the sky.
