I'm trying to build 64-bit httpd-2.4.29 on Windows with apr-util-1.6.1 and
Visual Studio 2015 via command line nmake and I'm running into a problem with
the expat unbundling from apr-util.
Building with apr-util-1.5.4 works fine, but would prefer to not build with an
older apr and apr-util.
I downloaded the expat 2.2.0 source and copied into srclib\apr-util\xml\expat
I also have a build of libexpat.lib (libexpat.dll), but I have no idea how to
set up the folder structure/file location to take advantage of that.
When building httpd, it is failing with 'xml.mak' not found:
cd srclib\apr-util\xml\expat\lib
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\BIN\amd64\nmake.
exe" -nologo -f xml.mak CFG="xml - Win32 Release" RECURSE=0
NMAKE : fatal error U1052: file 'xml.mak' not found
Stop.
I tried to sort this out by copying the xml.mak from a prior apache/apr-util
release into srclib\apr-util\xml\expat\lib, the expat portion of the build
seems to proceed successfully, but apr-util still fails with this error during
the link step:
rc.exe /l 0x409 /fo".\Release\libaprutil.res" /i "./include" /i "../apr/
include" /d "NDEBUG" /d "APU_VERSION_ONLY" .\libaprutil.rc

>From the apr-util changelog, there is this:
* The expat dependency of apr-util is no longer built with apr-util.
Install expat (including development headers and libraries) first
before building apr-util. [https://libexpat.github.io/]
For Linux, that makes sense, but it's not helpful for Windows since there isn't
the same concept of installing development headers and libraries.
Is there documentation for the changes necessary for building on Windows with
nmake?
Thanks in advance,
