Hello list members, We have just spent (wasted) 3 days trying to compile Apache 2.0.36 with zlib and mod-ssl on win2k for a critical project and we have been unsuccessful. Thus the offer of easy money!
We need working binaries for the config described above URGENTLY and we are willing to pay $500 worth of real gold (www.goldmoney.com) to the first person who can supply them to us. This gold can be redeemed for cash anywhere in the world. If you want even MORE easy money, we are willing to pay a further $500 worth of real gold to anyone who can help us to actually compile successfully. Details of what we have done and our results are below for those who are interested: Source: Apache 2.0.36, OpenSSL 2.6.9d, zlib (latest) First we discovered you can not use the instructions on the howto at http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/platform/win_compiling.html... the instructions (perl commands) for creating the makefiles etc. before compiling should not be used... Apache mod-ssl will need idea etc to compile. So we compiled OpenSSL using the instructions in INSTALL.W32 supplied with OpenSSL and OpenSSL compiled perfectly first time with no errors or warnings. Next we moved the entire OpenSSL folder into ..\srclib\openssl as instructed in the apache howto. We also followed the instructions for zlib. We got a version of awk for windows and installed it on the path as instructed. First we compiled without the openssl directory installed, and the nossl version of Apache compiled fine, with the compile finishing with 4 warnings and no errors. Compiling with the openssl directory installed brought a whole lot of problems on! First we got an error about not finding Bison, so we went and found a Win2k version of bison (and bison.hairy and bison.simple)... Then we needed flex, so we got that... Then we needed sed, so we got that.... Then when we compiled we got an error "could not find y.tab.c etc"... we discovered our version of bison uses y_tab.c and y_tab.h instead, so we corrected that... By now this had taken us a day or two of searching lists and web etc.... And still we get errors! now we are getting "undefined external _alloca" errors... So now we offer money for anyone who can help... we really would like to get this right so we can write a proper howto, plus we have a critical project we need to complete. Thanks in advance, John. ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
