APR Binaries

Hey all

Seems like the NSPR team make binaries available and prefer the
binaries to be used if you're just a user of the API. I saw no
binaries for APR on the site. Since I don't have MSVC++, is there any
interest in providing binaries for APR on the site?

Thanks
- Jason

hmm.. didn't Borland release their C compiler for free a while ago?
any idea on if Borland would read MSVC's makefile.win and work ?

Here's a better proposal: make a DLL available for download from
apr.apache.org.

That way there's no problem with people that don't want to buy MSVC
or compile using cygwin.

Please be advised;

the cygwin build is NOT a win32 platform build - it uses the cygwin emulation
layer, with all it's beauty and blemishes :)

We would -certainly- entertain the mingw32 patches to build the native win32
binaries based on mingw.  Admittedly, that may be more difficult with the 
native
APIs we use internally, but I suspect it's doable.

I'll be happy to review any mingw build script here, just follow the usual
guidelines [diff -u3, prefer cvs diff -u3 against the current tree.]

Hi

To build APR is not that difficult.  On the Windows platform you either 
need MSVC or cygwin.

Since you already stated that you do not have MSVC you will need to install 
cygwin.  When you do that please make sure that you do a couple of 
additional things:

1)  Set the directories and paths correctly.  Make sure that the UNIX tools 
get a chance first in the path.
2)  Download some additional GNUWIN UNIX tools (cygwin tools sometimes 
crash) specifically gawk for Win32.

Then you can build like any ol'Unix platform (Just tested on my box).

Hope that helps

Christian

Since you are using Open Source tools might I also suggest that you use the 
following IDE
