Re]Building Apache on Windows

Unfortunately, this is a pretty esoteric area. Almost every flavour of Unix in the world comes with the tools necessary to turn source code into something you can run; but the same is not true of Windows. All development packages on the Windows platforms are add-ons, and there are a few possibilities. When the Apache developers began working on the Windows version of Apache, they decided to standardise on a single add-on development tool: Visual Studio C++ version 5.0 from Microsoft. So if you don't have a Windows development package, you can't rebuild the Apache software. If you have a different one than Visual Studio, how to get it to work with the Apache sources is a problem you'll have to solve yourself.

If, however, you have Visual C++ on your Windows box, then you can rebuild the Apache Web server from source either from a command line in a DOS window, such as:


C:\ cd \Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\src C:\Program Files\Apache Group\APACHE\src nmake -f Makefile.nt target

The target can be one of the following:

installr Build a fully-functional Apache.exe executable. installd Same as installr , except that the executable is built for use with a debugger. _cleanr Clean up the directory tree in preparation for doing a installr build. _cleand Clean up the directory tree in preparation for doing a installd build.
