Is this possible? (Putting necessary .pm stubs in the same tree as apxs and letting it run out-of-the-box?) Yes, it's possible to strip it down, and in particular, do away with MakeMaker. This is done in the version at http://www.apache.org/~randyk/apxs.zip When unpacked, running, eg, perl apxs_install.pl D:\Path\to\installed\Apache2 will configure and install apxs, apr-config, and apu-config. Here, D:\Path\to\installed\Apache2 is the top-level Apache2 installation directory, and it is assumed that things have already been installed there (in order to get some version information and library names). However, if desired, this information could be extracted from files within the sources instead, prior to installation. This smaller version does away with some of the checks and possible user prompting of the earlier version, by assuming that the specified D:\Path\to\installed\Apache2 is the right one. So it might be suitable to be invoked from httpd-2.0.x/Makefile.win, using the $(INSTDIR) defined there. Note that there's a few variables, such as in the installed $APACHE2/build/config_vars.mk, which I left blank, either because I didn't know what the Win32 versions were, or because they seemed Unix-specific. These can be easily changed, though. -- best regards, randy
