Hi, I've spent several hours the past weeks to investigate in more detail build issues and test failures I run into when building APR/APR-util/APR-iconv and entered my findings (including patches) in the bugtracker.
All tests were done on Windows using VS 2015 Update 2 with nmake and the provided Makefile.win files. APR versions: APR 1.5.2 APR-util 1.5.4 APR-iconv 1.2.1 I understand that the cmake builds might not suffer the described issues and that APR-iconv is somehow deprecated. Still, maybe this might be of some use to the project. I'm sending this mail to try to push some awareness on the provided patches and also as a quick summary/overview of what was added to the bugtracker: APR/APR-util: fix for "The system cannot find the path specified" (SystemRoot case mismatch): https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59698 / https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59721 APR: testapp crash: https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59711 APR-iconv: fix for "precompiled object not linked in" (missing obj-file in linker list): https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59725 APR-iconv/APR-util: testxlate build script related issues (mostly related to path/environment variable handling): https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59755 APR-util: testxlate UTF-7 issues (test assumption fix): https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59756 APR-util: testreslist test failure (Line 255: expected (10), but saw (20)): https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59767 Furthermore (in light of a potential bump of the expat version in APR-util): expat 2.2.0 was released on 06/21/16 containing several security fixes: http://expat.sourceforge.net/ Regards, Stefan
