trouble getting set up

[Bill Angus]

I got the binaries distribution of Apache 2.0.39 for Windows 2000. Unfortunately I got it without MOD-SSL built, which I guess is the only way it comes.   The 2.0.39 version of Apache wouldn't install like version 2.0.36 did. I still haven't figured out how to install it but I assume RTFM and following the manual installation instructions will work. PLEASE somone let me know if this version can't be installed at all.   Next I downloaded the source files and went to build the apache and MOD_SSL source, because I figured that is something I would have to do to get MOD_SSL installed and working. Uckfay. I have Borland C++ Builder5 and Microsoft Visual Studio with MS-C++ 6 installed on my computer. Neither will allow me to build the project.   It seems like the platform of choice is Microsoft VC++, cause the Borland compiler switcher look different, so MSVC++ is the compiler I tried hardest to get to work. I keep getting errors like those appended below...   I am not a VC++ programmer by trade, so it goes without saying that I could not have written Apache from scratch in C. I haven't a clue why the file-set won't compile, but assume that it is undocumented compiler configuration requirements -- or files missing from source distribution.   Any help greatly appreciated.   Bill Angus http://www.psychtest.com   Trying to compile the base project fails as follows: Deleting intermediate files and output files for project 'libapr - Win32 Debug'.
