can anyone explain how to add modules to win32 build?
I far prefer using pretty GUIs to cp and vi.

Yeah. Probably needs updating for VC 5, can't remember - and didn't it
get axed at some point?
Cheers,
Ben.

Oh, you mean the MakeModuleMak stuff?
Ok, that's better.
So if I want to add a new module to the win32 build (as a .dll), I have
to:
- make ApacheModuleFoo.dsp (copying from some other .dsp is easier
than MakeModuleMak for a small number...)
- load it and export a makefile
- manually update Makefile.nt
anything else?
mod_speling seems to work fine under NT...

Yeah, well, that's why I wrote a gadget to generate the files for a DLL.
Cheers,
Ben.

Yep, you've hit the biggest problem with Windows: you can't automate
anything. Well, you can do some things, but there are always things you
just cannot automate. Even with nice things like perl. That's the real
reason that I wouldn't use an NT server in real live (even more than
performance and stability reasons). And I'm sure sooner or later someone
has *got* to see through the nice GUI and "cheaper to adminster" arguments
to see that administering NT is actually a lot more difficult than Unix.
Then again they haven't so far, and IS department just higher more NT
gophers to do the donkey work of repetative tasks. Dumb.

I'm being sarcastic and saying that having to go through two zillion steps
for each new .dll that I want to generate is a very dumb thing to do
compared to the nice easy Unix way of being able to just cp whatever it is
you have to use and edit the few places that need editing.

Do you mean so that they build as part of the ApacheCore build, or do
you mean more of the existing scheme?
Cheers,
Ben.

I find that while developing a module your far better off adding it
to the core project. You can't set breakpoints that persist from
one run to the next on a dynamicly loaded DLL. Meanwhile I was getting
crashes of Apache, and the developer's studio when I had my module in
it's own DLL. - ben

If its a core module (like mod_mime, mod_negotiation, etc) simply add the
source file to the files in the ApacheCore project.
But you probably want to build it as an external (DLL) module. So create a
new project to build a DLL (if you want to late commit it to Apache, start
the project in src/os/win32). Make src/main an include directory for the
pre-processor. Link against ApacheOS.lib, ap.lib, ApacheCore.lib (in the
appropriate "D" or "R" directories, for debug or release). Once built,
move the DLL to /apache/modules (or wherever) and add a LoadModule line.
Is that what you wanted to know?
