win32 makefile generator?
At one point, I thought there was a program shipping with apache to
generate .mak files for Win32 modules, was I wrong or did that go away? Is
there any way currently to generate a makefile besides using developer studio?

I see.

Indeed!

That's kinda what I had in mind for now. Use an existing .mak for a
template and just have the perl module fill in $module_name and location
for ApacheCore.lib and include path for *.h. If this can't be done easily
without have to go back into the studio and re-generating, I guess it's not
worth the time.

Um... no. It's still there.
taz:~/apache-1.3/src/os/win32$ ls M*
MakeModuleMak.cpp MakeModuleMak.mak Module.mak.tmpl
It should be noted that it doesn't work; it generates MSVC 4.2 makefiles,
and we're using 5.0 now, which requires both .mak and .dsp files
(different .mak files than 4.2 used). The dependicies are also completley
wrong, written as it was before we did the 1.3 directory reshuffling
thing.
I suspect it would take some work to get right. What I've usually done,
IIRC, is just copy over one of the existing .mak/.dsp pairs and use Perl
to do a find and replace on the name of the module. Then I open it with
Visual Studio and let it fix whatever's wrong (save, export the makefile).

I had a program that generated the .mak's for Win32 modules, coz I got
bored of doing it manually. Various people insisted it was deleted after
a while, for reasons I never fully understood. NIH, I suspect. I didn't
argue too hard coz it had done its thing, and I figured I could always
insist that those who wanted it blown away generated any new makefiles
:-)
No doubt it is in CVS somewhere.
Cheers,
Ben.

Do you mean the user-level popen() function in PHP? It should work ok.
Are you sure you are not hitting a permission issue? ie. if you try to
run the same command from the shell as your web server user id, does it
work?

trouble with popen()

Hello,
This might seem trivial, but I'm having problems popen()'ing (it returns
NULL) either from a module or using PHP.
Am I overlooking something? PHP is compiled in non-safe mode, but when I
started trying to figure why PHP doesn't work I remember when I had
problems doing that in my apache module..
Using Apache 1.2.6/PHP 3.0.3/FreeBSD 2.2.7R
Thanks in advance,
Yevgeny

hmm, well, if somebody could tweak the Makefile.nt to install
ApacheCore.lib and the *.h files, I could put together a perl module to
generate a simple makefile, based on what developer studio spits out.
Wouldn't be much, but better than nothing. Actually, does ApacheCore.lib
need to be installed? I've always done this:
Project -> Add to Project -> Files
Filename: [C:\Apache\ApacheCore.lib]
Is there another way?
I think we need to get Ralf a win32 box to port apxs :-)

Not AFAIK.
There was a program to make the .dsp files or something that was used for
the initial conversion I think.
