Re: libapreq on cygwin?

[David Naughton <no...@mninter.net>]

Following the advice of Stas, I'm re-directing my questions below from 
the modperl list to this list.  In short, can anyone help me to compile 
libapreq on cygwin?

Thanks!
Dave

If only it did!

Thanks for the tip.  At first I didn't see the MacOSX file, because

   perl -MCPAN -e 'install Apache::libapreq'

gives me libapreq-0.31.  Like an idiot, I didn't notice it until you 
mentioned MacOSX.  I downloaded 1.1 from 
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/libapreq/, and now I see it.

Statically compiling libapreq into apache promises to be much easier 
than what I was trying to do.  I'll give it a shot and let you know what 
  happens.

Thanks again!
Dave

I'm not familiar with cygwin, but if the standard mantra

  % perl Makefile.PL
  % make && make install

doesn't work for you, I'd recommend trying to mimic the installation
instructions written in INSTALL.MacOSX.  If some variation of those
instructions turns out to work, we can put that info in INSTALL.cygwin.
