Ben, can you verify if you really can build the single file install?

Sigh. Can't we just use a self-extracting zip?

Yeah, well, a lot of pointless things happen on NT systems.

"Extract into the XXX directory, then copy into the YYY directory, where
XXX and YYY can be either of "install" or "build" as long as XXX and YYY
are different."

I'm only following this peripherally at the moment, but that 'extract

Well, you need to ensure that the src, conf, etc directories get into the
install directory. In practise what happens is you grab the Unix release
tar.gz, extract it into the build directory, copy it into the build
directory, build it, install it into the install directory. So the install
directory ends up with the correct distribution files (i.e. after the unix
how-to-release process has been followed) with the installed Win32 files
overlaid onto that directory structure.

I guess you could checkout direct into the install directory but you would
end up with some files and directories you shouldn't have in the install
tree (for example, STATUS, CVS, .cvsignore). If you follow the Unix
how-to-release first you should be ok.

Note of course the IS2 only builds files listed in its config, so these
extra files would be ignored, but if you use drag-n-drop to update the IS2
config to the current set of files you'd end up with undesirable files in
the configuration.

Probably the docs should either explain all this, or just remove the
reference to CVS checkout. That might be easier.

No, check it out once and copy it locally! You could build/install it all
in C:\Apache I guess, but as above you then couldn't update the IS2 config
easily by drag-n-drop (not that that is easy since you have to do it for
every directory and you have to use the annoying GUI).

Hmmm ... I quote "Now create the install directory, and extract Apache

That's a pain, then I have to check it out twice! Is this really
necessary? Can't I just check out Apache to c:\apache then build/install
it, then run IS2?

Yes. IS2's configuration has to pick it up from somewhere. On most systems
that would be C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 or C:\WINDOWS or whereever, but that is
system dependent, meaning you would *definitely* have to customise
apache.iwz for your site. Or you might keep your MSVC redistributable
files somewhere separate from the live windows directories.

Instead, the how-to-build docs tell you to copy MSVCRT.DLL from whereever
you prefer to keep it into C:\Apache, so that it is in a known location
for apache.iwz. There's even a copy of cut-n-paste commands in the
how-to-release doc for windows and windows NT systems to make this
trivially easy (assuming I committed that -- I think I did).

Similarly for the source, conf and other directories. You might check them
out anywhere, but as long as you follow the docs and copy them to
C:\Apache (or whereever) everything is reduced to a dependency on a single
path. 

> Put it this way - I did do a build and install to the default location,

I still don't understand why. Are you following the how-to-release? What
needed changing? What files are not in the right place in C:\Apache? I
think there may be one or two differences from 1.3.0 to 1.3.1 but nothing
serious.

No, C:\Apache is just an intermediate directory. You should not check out
apache into it, nor build Apache in it. This is should be documented.  It
could be anything (as the documentation explains) if you already have a
C:\Apache. You should make sure that C:\Apache (or whatever intermediate
directory you use) is completely empty before starting a build.

Yes, if you follow the step by step instructions posted on dev.apache.org.

If someone wishes to update the file to have the current set of files
required, etc. that would be useful to do now, before 1.3.1 is tagged.

That may be so, but we need to pick some path.  Personally, I would prefer
some completely seperate path (eg. c:\apacherawcvscraptoinstalljunk).

Errr ... right - so MSVCRT.DLL lives in the Apache install directory,
does it? (For example).

Put it this way - I did do a build and install to the default location,
and apache.iwz needed LOADS of changing.

I suspect you are assuming that c:\apache is also where the CVS tree
lives, which ain't the case in this part of the world. And doesn't
explain msvcrt.

It's designed so you only have to do a single search-and-replace to get
your local paths into it, but it is certainly easier if you do an Apache
build and install to the default location (C:\Apache), since then
apache.iwz doesn't need changing.

Yes I don't care either way, but it seems a bit redundant on Windows
systems to include Unix specific files and directories. It is also an easy
way of keeping the archive size down a bit. The problem is keeping all the
directories up to date in IS2. You have an manually go through every
directory, comparing it against the files in the new release and
adding/remove files as needed.  This takes long enough with the current
set of directories... adding more will make this even more of a pain to
do.

Yes.  Brian I think.

There could be a mess of files that have to be updated for the installer.
Also note that I dislike the current way of not including the full source
tree; on Unix we include the win32 directory, so why not include the unix
directory, etc. on win32?

Sure, but whatever you do it has to pop up when they install it so that
they see it without scrolling anything or saying "yes, show me the
readme".

Oh, that reminds me, there is a problem with README.NT. When
IS2 comes to display it at the end it uses the associations from the
registry to know what viewer to launch, and NT isn't a known extension so
it doesn't display it. So README.NT needs renaming to README.TXT before
running the IS2 build process, and update the corresponding option in IS2
from README.NT to README.TXT.

Eccentric is one word for it.

Cool.

Oh, I think we should add a "readme" to the install process saying
something like:

WARNING: The Win32 release of Apache should still be considered beta
quality code.  It does not meet the normal standards of stability and
security that Unix releases do.  There are numerous known bugs and
inconsistencies.  There is also a much greater chance of security holes
being present in the Win32 version of Apache.

Yes, I can, though the existing apache.iwz file is somewhat eccentric,
so I have to change a lot of paths, but at the end of the day, I get a
single file install, yes.

Cheers,

Ben.

Can anyone build a win32 build with a single file is2 install within 24
hours of the tarball being rolled?
