Building 2.0.9-dev on Windows w. httpd 2.4
Dear List
For whatever reason I wanted (and also would have a certain need) to build
mod_perl
to work with Apache 2.4 on Windows. ;-)
I've tried building 2.0.9-dev (master r1624218) with XAMPP 1.8.3 's (httpd
2.4.10) with several Strawberry Perl (portable) version and always fail
with the same errors. maybe I'm just doing it wrong but I haven't yet
figured out where to go from here. apxs doesn't seem to be part of XAMPP
but it seems to recognize the httpd folder.
Below is the output (Straberry Perl 5.16 32-bit)
Best regards
Mathieu
OUTPUT:
perl Makefile.PL
no conflicting prior mod_perl version found - good.
Next we need to know where the 'apxs' script is located. This script
provides a lot of information about the Apache installation, and makes
it easier to find things on your system. Normally it's located in the
same directory as the 'httpd' executable.
If you don't yet have Apache installed you can build Apache against
the Apache source code, but you won't be able to run the test suite (a
very important step). Therefore you may want to install Apache before
proceeding.
Please provide a full path to 'apxs' executable
(press Enter if you don't have it installed):
Configure mod_perl with c:\xampp\apache? [y]
Configuring Apache/2.4.10 mod_perl/2.0.9dev Perl/v5.16.3

Hi Richard
That sounds interesting - the most time I've spent installing GB's of
Windows developer tools.
Compiling all from scratch (I tried it a bit, but also failed - guess:
PEBKAC) wasn't in the scope, so
I'd really like to give that download a test, unfortunately the link
doesn't work "Please enter a valid search string to continue."
Could you re-post it?
Best regards
Mat

When I did this I built everything: Perl, httpd, and mod_perl myself using VC2008 without using the IDE.

Hi

Aha, so I guess a Visual Studio is required then?
Let me give it a whirl then. :-)
So I had the oppoortunity to give this a bit a test and from what I looks now
the situation is a bit in dare state for building mod_perl for httpd 2.4.x on Windows
- Strawberry Perl fails for mod_perl since its toolchain mostly relies on dmake
(as previously said, not really working for mod_perl)
- I was able to obtain a (seemingly) apxs_win32 from Apachelounge*
-> without it you get the said error with both Windows Perl distributions.
I focussed then on ActivePerl 5.18 since that one seems to be more closely tied to VC - ?
- ActivePerl 5.18 at least contains ExtUtils:Embed 1.3001
(still fails initially but can be silenced by 'set MP_USE_MY_EXTUTILS_EMBED=1)
- Within the "VS2012 x86 Natvie Tools Command Prompt" and a apxs.bat 'perl Makefile.pl'
passes with some errors. (some progress at least!)
- However the resulting Makefile doesn't take take care of the Windows environment as it wants to use dmake and gcc
I'm not enough familiar with MakeMaker - any hint how to get further? I compared on a Ubuntu VM
where the SVN HEAD builds properly without issues, so it is a Windows-specific problem.
Best regards

You need to build perl yourself using VC/nmake too or else find some
other binary build using VC/nmake because ActivePerl actually uses
gcc/dmake just like Strawberry Perl these days...

I'm not familiar with XAMPP, but I don't believe you can currently
build mod_perl with Strawberry Perl because mod_perl doesn't support
building with dmake.
