If a 5.8.1 release does seem pressing, perhaps Steve Hay could test that out, if I'm not back. > > Having gone through a semi-functional port of apxs for > > Win32, I hope to also get a chance to look doing the > > same for the ap[ru]-config scripts; these are shell > > scripts, so aren't as straightforward as apxs, but then > > again, aren't as involved as apxs.

I don't think so - ap[ru]-config are /bin/sh scripts, so wouldn't run under the Win32 "shell" (unless I guess one had cygwin, or some equivalent, but one can't assume that). However, they don't look too difficult to convert to Perl. -- best regards, randy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
