Windows vcproj generator

["D.J. Heap" <dj...@shadyvale.net>]

I've been trying to update the vcproj generator patch for mod_authz_svn 
and for Brane's instrumenting additions to the dsp generator, but I'm 
getting a linker error on mod_authz_svn:

mod_authz_svn.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol 
_dav_svn_split_uri referenced in function _auth_checker

Does VC6 build this correctly?  Even using the dsp generator and 
converting those (and then tweaking the resource defines so everything 
else builds), I get this same error for mod_authz_svn.

The installer project doesn't work (with either generator) because the 
installer.bat file is not found.

Also, should I dump the code and pre-defined vcproj files for apr on the 
assumption that they will be included with apr sometime?

I've been using the vcproj generator heavily and it's working well 
except for these issues.  I have updated it for a few linker warning 
fixes and (as Sander pointed out) fixed the svn_config.vcproj to keep it 
from nuking the neon build .bat file.

I also don't mind just forgetting the vcproj generator and converting 
dsp's...but then the resource defines would have to be done differently 
or something.  The resource defines are the only problem when converting 
dsp's to vcproj's, to my knowledge.

Ok, with your last update and a bit more tweaking of the vcproj 
generator everything now builds again with pool debugging, purify and 
quantify, etc -- with the exception of the installer, of course.

I'll try to post an updated patch tomorrow night as I have to head out 
of town right now -- I will include the converted apr project files and 
copy-if-not-there code, unless someone objects.

No, mod_authz_svn is not included in the default build for now. One
problem is a missing library dependency on mod_dav_svn -- which I'll fix
with a custom hack in the generator, yuck -- and the other problem is
that mod_dav_svn doesn't export its public symbols correctly (using
AP_MODULE_DECLARE). Sander and I sort of have an understanding that
he'll take care of that bit.

AFAIK it doesn't work with VC6 yet, either.

Small chance of that. I think it's more likely we could push the
generator itself into APR. Nobody likes maintaining .dsp files, and
maintainig two sets is a nightmare.

Cool.

Yes. There's no workaround that I know of; VS.Net's .dsp converter
simply doesn't handle those quotes correctly. I believe it makes sense
to take the trouble to maintain the .vcproj generator.
