Hi.

Never mind all the stuff below (although it may end up helping another compiler-dummy like me). I now got the reason : on my laptop (and also on the other Windows machine) the version of Strawberry Perl was 5.18.4.1 32-bit, but it was /not/ the "no-64-bit-ints" specific version found here :
http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html
section : "5.18.4.1 / 32bit - without USE_64_BIT_INT"

Once I corrected that (and re-installed the rest as per below), the error went 
away.

Many, many thanks for the binaries, and sorry for the noise.

Hi.

I am a bit confused now.
I have downloaded http://people.apache.org/~stevehay/mod_perl-2.0.8-strawberryperl-5.18.4.1-32bit-no64.zip
(for which many thanks anyway, no matter what follows).
I tried to use that first on my old and venerable Windows XP 32-bit SP3 laptop. When trying to compile a small test module (see below), I got a compilation error :

C:\develop\06_SVN\AP2lib\trunk\modlib\AM>perl -cw Basket.pm
panic: no address for 'Apache2::Const::compile' in 'Const.xs' at C:/strawberry/p
erl/lib/XSLoader.pm line 92.
Compilation failed in require at Basket.pm line 9.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Basket.pm line 9.

Line 9 is :
use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(REDIRECT);
or just
use Apache2::Const;

But this (old and venerable) laptop is also quite messy, so I didn't trust it all that much. I thus tried this all again on a much more recent and clean 64-bit Windows 7 Pro workstation, on which there is installed :
- StrawberryPerl 5.18 32-bit , in c:\strawberry.
- Apache 2.2.29 32-bit (ApacheLounge : https://www.apachelounge.com/download/win32/binaries/httpd-2.2.29-win32.zip), in c:\apache2

The full versions of both can be found in the attached file "test_mp2_compile.txt".

Following the instructions in the mod_perl zip file above, I copied
- the zip-file's "Apache2" directory over C:\Apache2
- the zip-file's "Strawberry" directory over C:\strawberry

Then I tried to compile the small partial module again (source shown also in the attached text file). And I first got the errors successively shown in the attachments screenshots. The first (error_01) popup seems to tell me that the file "libaprutil-1.dll" isn't found, after which I get some strange perl compiler error.
The file is there however, as shown in error_03.jpg.

That is apparently solved by adding "C:\apache2\bin" to the system PATH variable (which the ApacheLounge installation doesn't do).

But then, trying to compile the test module again, the popup doesn't occur anymore, but I get another compile error as shown in "error_04.jpg", which is the same error as on my old and venerable and messy laptop (which seems thus to be not so totally messy after all, at least not in that respect).

What am I missing (on both systems) ?

TIA
André

Thanks! Though it might be difficult to get everything else I need in
64bit, too.

If you want 32-bit then the easiest way is to build it yourself using
a perl that you built yourself with the same compiler.
Is there a recommended compiler? I use Strawberry perl, do you know
which compiler is used for that perl? As you say, it would be better to
use the same. And I would like to stick to it because there are so many
binaries of difficult modules already included.


Unfortunately you'll need to use VC++ for now because mod_perl doesn't
currently support gcc/dmake (which is what both StrawberryPerl and
ActivePerl now use). I hope to fix that soon, though...

You just need to get APXS from
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/apxs/trunk and run something
like

perl Configure.pl --with-apache2=C:\apache --with-apache-prog=httpd.exe
do I also have to compile apache myself? Or just put the src under
c:\apache?


A prebuilt one, say from Apache Lounge, using the same VC++ should be ok,
but I build Apache from source too just to rule out any possible
compatibility problems.
It's the binary installation, not the source tree, that you need in
C:\apache in my example.
