You say distribute... which in my experience is fraught with problems :) Pound depends on libpthread, which is of *nix design. The only way I've been able to get it to run on Windows is using Cygwin. MSys didn't compile right, and I don't have the requisite knowledge to do a MSVC++ native binary, replacing pthread with appropriate Win APIs. So cygwin is really the only option.
I've compiled binaries for pound on Cygwin before... They generally don't perform as well as the Linux native ones I use, which isn't surprising given the emulation layer. Plus, if you have more than one different version of cygwin.dll on the same machine you can have all sorts of stability issues. (for instance, openssh and pound with different dlls) The best option is to install cygwin on the server and compile it there. Make sure you install the compiling tools (make, gcc, etc) and the libraries you need (pcre, openssl, etc), and cygrunsrv if you want to run it as a service. Last time I compiled with ./configure --disable-super --with-ssl. >From that point on you can configure and use it normally... You can use >cygrunsrv to install it as a service. Compiling on one machine and trying to distribute is more problematic because of cygwin.dll collisions... I've done it before, just copy pound.exe to a directory on the destination server. Run it and copy every dll it complains about from the source system to the destination folder. Repeat until all dlls are copied. Make sure no other cygwin.dll or cygwin1.dll is on the system. I wish you luck!
