Cannot build mod_perl 2 on Win32: Linking problems

[Joe Yates <jo...@tin.it>]

I have
	Apache/2.0.36
	mod_perl/1.99_02-dev
	Perl/v5.7.3
and am using nmake.

Apache2 is installed (and working) in
	C:\Apache2\bin
I built both perl and Apache from sources.

My makefile.pl command line is:
	perl makefile.pl MP_AP_PREFIX=C:\Apache2

I'm getting numerous linking problems, e.g.:
	mod_perl.lo : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__exit

The unresolved links are to Microsoft libs, Kernel32.lib, etc. My LIB 
environment variable looks OK, though.

What should I do?

I could add all the libs, but I'm sure there is a simpler problem. Cannot 
find anything in the existing archives of the mailing lists.

Thanks for any help.

what does your perl -V say ?
never tried the released version of 5.7.3 on win32, but i've been 
rsync-ing perl-current which compiles/links and passes all test.

rsync.exe -auvz --delete rsync://ftp.linux.activestate.com/perl-current/ perl-current

Are you still having this problem? Can you build other xs-based
CPAN modules OK? If so, you might try the modperl-2 cvs version -
see http://perl.apache.org/ for details on how to get this.
