Yes, I build on Windows and care about Windows support. It all works pretty-much out-of-the-box for me, certainly on XP using VS2008 (VC9) (either the full commercial version, or the free Express version): Build Perl: nmake INST_TOP=C:\perl5 CCTYPE=MSVC90 USE_IMP_SYS=undef PERL_MALLOC=define nmake INST_TOP=C:\perl5 CCTYPE=MSVC90 USE_IMP_SYS=undef PERL_MALLOC=define test nmake INST_TOP=C:\perl5 CCTYPE=MSVC90 USE_IMP_SYS=undef PERL_MALLOC=define install Build Apache: nmake /f Makefile.win INSTDIR=C:\apache2.2 installr Install apxs: perl Configure.pl --with-apache2=C:/apache2.2 --with-apache-prog=httpd.exe Build mod_perl2: perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=C:/apache2.2 nmake nmake test nmake install Build libapreq2: [Make sure C:\apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf loads mod_perl] perl Makefile.PL nmake nmake test nmake install There are a few test failures that I get but haven't had a chance to look into yet (apache/subprocess tests 2-5, hooks/authen_basic test 4, hooks/authz test 4 and modules/apache_status tests 14-15). I don't personally use OpenSSL in my mod_perl setup, but do use it for other purposes. It also builds fine on Windows: perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=/openssl --openssldir=/openssl ms\do_ms nmake /f ms\nt.mak cd out32 ..\ms\test cd .. nmake /f ms\nt.mak install Perl support for VS2010 (VC10) is now in bleadperl (including 5.13.9), but not *quite* complete yet. VS2005 (VC8), VS2003 (VC7) and VC6 used to work too and probably still do (but some of the earlier free Express versions have various dependencies on SDKs etc: the VS2008 or VS2010 versions are better because they are self-contained). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@perl.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@perl.apache.org
