Hi,

I just tested building APR 1.5.2 from source on windows, following the instructions from the readme file.

compiling (aka: nmake -f Makefile.win) succeeded without problems, but the following install command (aka: nmake -f Makefile.win PREFIX=FOO install) failed with return code 0x1:

copy Release/libapr-1.pdb "..\apr-dist\bin\" <.y
The system cannot find the file specified.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'copy' : return code '0x1'
Stop.

Without looking at the build script I assume that the PDB is not created for Release builds and therefore the file is missing.

Maybe worth either adjusting the linker/compiler settings so the PDB is also generated in Release builds or adding a file-existence-check prior to the copy operation, so building doesn't issue that error?

For me that's not a problem here. Just thought might be good to raise that point so that user experience with APR could be improved.

Regards,
Stefan
