Fighting with that for almost a week ...

Makefile.win
apr.dsp
apr.dsw
libapr.dsp
Also a simple search for *.dsp gives 17 additional matches


Eg.
nmake -f Makefile.win
'msdev' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Sure, since msdev.exe was part of Visual Studio 6, which
you cannot download since 2008 (or something)

OK, let's try this ...
nmake -f Makefile.win USESLN=1
'devenv' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.


So, Makefile.win, all those .dsp, .dsw files are useless.


Let's try cmake ...

Use cl from Windows7.1 DDK ...
cmake --version
cmake version 3.21.4

cmake -G "NMake Makefiles"
...
-- The C compiler identification is MSVC 15.0.30729.207
 The C compiler
  is not able to compile a simple test program.
...

So that sucks.


The question is why do we have
so many basically useless build solutions.
Also, apr/trunk still contains code for windows95 and
windowsCE, although one cannot compile it with cl from Visual Studio 9

Also, can someone point to a workable
step-by-step solution to build basic apr/trunk on windows with
required tools.
