Win64 Support?
Is it possible to build Apr 1.2.8 for Win64? Are there any instructions
for doing so? I've only been able to find docs for 32 bit builds on
Windows. I'm building with MS VC 6.0. Thanks in advance.

Josh.

Correct. Certain MSWin DDK's can, IIRC, but they may or may not
be shipping that functionality anymore in current DDK's.

I think I was able to get it to build. Unfortunately, I think I'm out
of luck on the next step of my task to, but that's for another list.
Thanks for your help.

MS distinguishes their 32 vs 64 bit builds by the CL/LINK you invoke, not
(so much) by flags.
Let us know if the build stumbles. Because you can't run 64 bits on ancient
Windows, if you are compiling trunk, you should certainly compile the targets
as ReleaseNT, e.g.
NMAKE /f "libapr.mak" CFG="libapr - Win32 ReleaseNT"
but not in apr 1.2.x, simply use the Release target.

I'm only a halfwit when it comes to native stuff on Windows, so please
forgive my ignorance. I installed the "Microsoft Platform SDK for
Windows Server 2003 R2", opened a Windows x64 bit command prompt and
built a 64bit OpenSSL. Is there no easy way to do something similar
with APR? Thanks.

100% certain you are mistaken. The only '64' in that timeframe was the
IA64 compile. x86_64? Pretty certain that's not possible, unless you
are actually using a DDK or SDK CL.exe compiler on top of VC6.0.

Thanks for the quick response.
I've been able to build a 64bit OpenSSL 0.9.8e from the command line
using VC 6.0. I don't suppose there is any way to do the same with APR?
Or are there any 64 bit binaries available? (I've ran into a lot of
problems distributing binaries built with VS 2005, so I'd really like to
stick with VC 6.0.)

IIRC, I don't think MSVC 6.0 can do Win64 builds. MSVC 2005 can -
I've built Subversion/APR in 64-bit mode - it was just one or two
straightforward toggles in the Target selection, as far as I
remember...
