Well, the documentation is effectively one of the biggest issue. Which version of apr should/can be used, is apr-iconv still needed, and so on. The ant build also require additional tools (ant-contrib) and patches; targeting VisualStudio express is not the same as VisualStudio Pro (ok, the point is on MS side, but). To build the api... I've done it 'manually'. Same for the unit-tests. Autotools is ok for *nix, cygwin and even MinGW (with MSys, except little trouble with apr (the build try to remove libtoolT instead of libtoolT.exe), but with Ms or Intel compiler... Regarding Visual Studio, I guess the "build result" would also profit of using property sheet (as replacement of 'make install') If you want, I can provide you my different build 'scripts' (sequence of actions), as well as VisualStudio 2010 projects/solutions (covering the lib itself, but not the unit-test; a nmake or similar tools is required, as the test are organized as several executables) Cheers Flo
