+ <title>Building from Unix sources</title>
+
+ <p>The policy of the HTTPd Server project is to only release Unix sources.
+ Windows source packages made available for download have been supplied by
+ volunteers and may not be available for every release. You can still build
+ the server on Windows from the Unix source tarball with just a few additional
+ steps.</p>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>Download and unpack the Unix source tarball for the latest version.</li>
+ <li>Download and unpack the Unix source tarball for latest version of
+ APR-Iconv, place this source in the httpd-2.x.x\srclib\apr-iconv</li>
+ <li>Open a Command Prompt and CD to the httpd-2.x.x folder</li>
+ <li>Run the line endings conversion utility at the prompt;</li>
+ </ol>
+
+ <example>
+ perl srclib\apr\build\lineends.pl
+ </example>
+
+ <p>You can now build the server with the Visual Studio development
+ environment using the IDE. Command-Line builds of the server are not
+ possible from Unix sources unless you export .mak files as explained
+ below.
