Hello,
we are evaluating APR as a possible base for a multi-platform server
project.
I have successfully compiled and executed the following APR-"Hello
world!" program under Unix:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <apr_general.h>
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
apr_status_t rv;
rv = apr_initialize();
printf( "Hello APR world!\n");
apr_terminate();
return 0;
}
Now I try to compile this with Visual Studio 8 (2005). I have
successfully built the APR libs and the test suite with Studio.
But when compiling the above program, I get the following error message:
------ Build started: Project: TestAPR, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
Compiling...
try-helloworld-APR.c
d:\apr\apr\include\apr_errno.h(52) : error C2061: syntax error :
identifier 'apr_strerror'
d:\apr\apr\include\apr_errno.h(52) : error C2059: syntax error : ';'
d:\apr\apr\include\apr_errno.h(52) : error C2059: syntax error : 'type'
The respective line in apr_errno.c reads
APR_DECLARE(char *) apr_strerror(apr_status_t statcode, char *buf,
apr_size_t bufsize);
It seems that the macro APR_DECLARE is not defined.
I have spent one day to read all available documentation on APR and have
searched the mailing list archive for messages concerning how to compile
with APR under windows, but I just could not find out what settings I
have to specify to use the APR libs with Visual Studio.
The page http://apr.apache.org/compiling_win32.html just says
Integrating the Library
We should tell ya'll 'bout this, no?
:-)
Can you please help me? Any hints are highly appreciated.
Thank you and kind regards,
Joachim
