mod_perl on win32

Hi all,

I'd like to know if it's possible to build mod_perl on Win32; I'd like
to use mod_perl with StrawberryPerl. It seems to be that the only way
that could be done is to compile Apache also with MinGW, and that's not
possible because of limited support for Windows Shared Memory in MinGW.

Also if you'd try to compile mod_perl it will try to run "./configure"
on the Apache sources but that will fail on Win32 because 1. there is no
Configure in the win32 Apache sources and 2. Windows will try to execute
"." which is not exactly an executable file...

Does anyone have pointers or tips?

Thanks in advance,

There are various flaws in the build, report them to dev@httpd or collect
them in bugzilla reports, and mind the existing reports which might already
solve your problem.

Since there is no MinGW port maintainer, this often falls apart, sorry there
is nothing we can do if a platform's community does not participate with or
engage the developers with patches.

You don't use the -win32-src package because that package is for building
on the Microsoft Windows platform. If you want to build for a faux-unix
platform you would obtain the usual tarball.

Here is how I installed StrawberryPerl + mod_perl + apache2 on Windows
(tested onVista):

1. Apache
Go to http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
Click on "/Win32 Binary including OpenSSL 0.9.8i (MSI Installer) /"
Some recommend to install it in a directory without space, although I
did not do that and it still work.

2. Perl
Go to http://strawberryperl.com/ and install the latest kit

3. I then use the script send in attachement to install all modules I
need, e.g. perl install_modules.pl

At the top of the script you will see how to get mod_perl2 and various
other stuff I need for my project. Just the lines for the modules you do
not need.

HTH,

Cheers, JD.

Ah yes of course you will need to add lines like

LoadFile "C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl510.dll"
LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so
LoadFile "C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Apache2.2\bin\libapreq2.dll"
LoadModule apreq_module modules/mod_apreq2.so

in your httpd.conf (change paths if needed)

Cheers, JD.

Re: mod_perl on win32

I'd suggest to get your mp2 up with the following stack:
Apache22 Windows binary
ActivePerl binary
precompiled mod_perl2 + libapreq2 from the repo

That would be the easy way, right ;-)

The thing is, my project uses a software bundle which includes Apache
and Strawberry for the Windows installer. Due to licensing requirements
you could not bundle ActiveState in an open source product; therefore
the Strawberry requirement. It is just too bad that ApachePerl is not
alive anymore. Any tips for compiling mod_perl with Strawberry are still
welcome!

Michiel

Recent Strawberry distributions contain the ppm utility, which can be
used to install ppm packages. I'm not sure if the relevant ppm
package:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/os/win32/install.html#PPM_Pa ckages
for mod_perl and libapreq2 would be compatible, but it would probably
be worth trying.
