<div class="section">
<h2><a name="requirements" id="requirements">Requirements</a></h2>
<p>Compiling Apache requires the following environment to be
properly installed:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Disk Space</p>
<p>Make sure you have at least 180 MB of free disk space
available. After installation Apache requires approximately
70 MB of disk space, plus space for log and cache files,
which can grow rapidly. The actual disk space requirements
will vary considerably based on your chosen configuration and
any third-party modules or libraries, especially when OpenSSL
is also built. Because many files are text and very easily
compressed, NTFS filesystem compression cuts these requirements
in half.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Microsoft Visual C++ (Microsoft Visual Studio) 6.0 or higher.</p>
<p>Apache can be built using the command line tools, or from
within the Visual Studio IDE Workbench. The command line
build requires the environment to reflect the <code>PATH</code>,
<code>INCLUDE</code>, <code>LIB</code> and other variables
that can be configured with the <code>vcvars32.bat</code> file:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
"c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\VCVARS32"
</code></p></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>The Windows Platform SDK for Visual C++ 6.0 (97) or 7.0 (.NET)</p>
<p>Apache's APR and APR-util builds require an updated Microsoft
Windows Platform SDK, from Feb 2003 or later, included in the
Visual C++ 7.1 (Studio 2003) and later. For command line builds with
Visual C++ 6.0 or 7.0, the Platform SDK environment is prepared by
the <code>setenv.bat</code> file:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
"c:\Program Files\Platform SDK\setenv.bat"
</code></p></div>
<p>The Platform SDK files distributed with Visual C++ 6.0 and
Visual Studio .NET (2000) are no longer sufficient and cause many
compilation warnings and linkage errors. Users of Visual C++ 7.1
(Studio 2003) and later versions (of the full product, not the
'Visual Studio Express' flavor) may skip this requirement.</p>
<p>If using the GUI, either start msdev or devenv with the /setenv
flag (after invoking setenv.bat), or ensure the paths are correct
under the Tools -> Options -> (Projects ->) Directories
menu option. The Platform SDK installer will generally help you
configure this.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The awk utility (awk, gawk or similar).</p>
<p>To install Apache within the build system, several files are
modified using the <code>awk.exe</code> utility. awk was chosen since
it is a very small download (compared with Perl or WSH/VB) and
accomplishes the task of modifying configuration files upon
installation. Brian Kernighan's
<a href="http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/bwk/">http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/bwk/</a>
site has a compiled native Win32 binary,
<a href="http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/bwk/awk95.exe">http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/bwk/awk95.exe</a> which
you must save with the name <code>awk.exe</code> rather than
<code>awk95.exe</code>.</p>
<div class="note">If awk.exe is not found, Makefile.win's install target
will not perform substitutions in the installed .conf files.
The installed .conf files must then be modified by hand for
this situation.</div>
<p>Note that Developer Studio IDE will only find
<code>awk.exe</code> from the Executable path specified in the menu
option Tools -> Options -> (Projects ->) Directories.
Add the path for <code>awk.exe</code> to this list, and your
system <code>PATH</code> environment variable, as needed.</p>
<div class="note">Also note that if you are using Cygwin tools
(<a href="http://www.cygwin.com/">http://www.cygwin.com/</a>)
the awk utility is named <code>gawk.exe</code> and that the file
<code>awk.exe</code> is really a symlink to the <code>gawk.exe</code>
file. The Windows command shell does not recognize symlinks, and
because of this building InstallBin will fail. A workaround is
to delete <code>awk.exe</code> from the cygwin installation and
copy <code>gawk.exe</code> to <code>awk.exe</code>. Also note the
cygwin/mingw ports of gawk 3.0.x were buggy, please upgrade to 3.1.x
before attempting to use any gawk port.</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>[Optional] zlib library (for <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code>)</p>
<p>Zlib must be installed into a <code>srclib</code> subdirectory named
<code>zlib</code>. This must be built in-place. Zlib can be obtained
from <a href="http://www.zlib.net/">http://www.zlib.net/</a> -- the
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code> is confirmed to work correctly with
version 1.2.3.</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
nmake -f win32\Makefile.msc<br />
nmake -f win32\Makefile.msc test
</code></p></div>
</li>
<li>
<p>[Optional] OpenSSL libraries (for <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ssl.html">mod_ssl</a></code>
and <code>ab.exe</code> with ssl support)</p>
<p><strong>Caution: there are significant restrictions and
prohibitions on the use and distribution of strong cryptography
and patented intellectual property throughout the world.</strong>
OpenSSL includes strong cryptography controlled by both export
regulations and domestic law, as well as intellectual property
protected by patent, in the United States and elsewhere. Neither
the Apache Software Foundation nor the OpenSSL project can provide
legal advise regarding possession, use, or distribution of the code
provided by the OpenSSL project. <strong>Consult your own legal
counsel, you are responsible for your own actions.</strong></p>
<p>OpenSSL must be installed into a <code>srclib</code> subdirectory
named <code>openssl</code>, obtained from
<a href="http://www.openssl.org/source/">http://www.openssl.org/source/</a>, in order to compile
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ssl.html">mod_ssl</a></code> or the abs project (<code>ab.exe</code>
enabled with SSL support.) To prepare OpenSSL for both
<code>release</code> and <code>debug</code> builds of Apache, and
disable the patent protected features in OpenSSL, you might use
the following build commands:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
perl Configure no-mdc2 no-rc5 no-idea enable-zlib VC-WIN32 -Ipath/to/srclib/zlib<br />
ms\do_masm.bat<br />
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
</code></p></div>
<p>Note: It is not advisable to use zlib-dynamic, as that could
pose a thread race condition. If building zlib on win32, be sure
to adjust the resulting ms\ntdll.mak file to link to the full
path of srclib\zlib\zdll.lib rather than zlib1.lib (that error in
configuration of OpenSSL through 0.9.8d and earlier reflects older
zlib 1.1 versions.)</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="commandbuild" id="commandbuild">Command-Line Build</a></h2>
<p>First, unpack the Apache distribution into an appropriate
directory. Open a command-line prompt and <code>cd</code> to that
directory.</p>
<p>The master Apache makefile instructions are contained in the
<code>Makefile.win</code> file. To compile Apache on Windows
NT, simply use one of the following commands to compiled the
<code>release</code> or <code>debug</code> build, respectively:</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
nmake /f Makefile.win _apacher
nmake /f Makefile.win _apached
</pre></div>
<p>Either command will compile Apache. The latter will disable
optimization of the resulting files, making it easier to single
step the code to find bugs and track down problems.</p>
</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
<div class="section">
<h2><a name="workspacebuild" id="workspacebuild">Developer Studio Workspace IDE Build</a></h2>
<p>Apache can also be compiled using VC++'s Visual Studio
development environment. To simplify this process, a
Visual Studio workspace, <code>Apache.dsw</code>, is provided.
This workspace exposes the entire list of working <code>.dsp</code>
projects that are required for the complete Apache binary release.
It includes dependencies between the projects to assure that they
are built in the appropriate order.</p>
<p>Open the <code>Apache.dsw</code> workspace, and select
<code>InstallBin</code> (<code>Release</code> or <code>Debug</code> build,
as desired) as the Active Project. <code>InstallBin</code> causes all
related project to be built, and then invokes <code>Makefile.win</code> to
move the compiled executables and dlls. You may personalize the
<code>INSTDIR=</code> choice by changing <code>InstallBin</code>'s Settings,
General tab, Build command line entry. <code>INSTDIR</code> defaults to the
<code>/Apache2</code> directory. If you only want a test compile (without
installing) you may build the <code>BuildBin</code> project instead.</p>
<p>The <code>.dsp</code> project files are distributed in Visual
C++ 6.0 format. Visual C++ 5.0 (97) will recognize them. Visual C++
7.0 (.net) must convert <code>Apache.dsw</code> plus the <code>.dsp</code>
files into an <code>Apache.sln</code> plus <code>.msproj</code> files,
be sure you reconvert the <code>.msproj</code> file if any of the source
<code>.dsp</code> files change! This is really trivial, just open
<code>Apache.dsw</code> in the VC++ 7.0 IDE once again.</p>
<div class="note">There is a flaw in the .vcproj conversion of .dsp through
Visual Studio 2005 SP1; devenv.exe will mis-parse the /D flag for RC
flags containing long quoted /D'efines containing spaces. The command:
<div class="example"><p><code>
perl srclib\apr\build\cvtdsp.pl -2005
</code></p></div>
will convert the /D flags for RC flags to use an alternate, parseable
syntax; unfortunately this syntax isn't supported by Visual Studio 97
or it's exported .mak files. These /D flags are used to pass the long
description of the mod_apachemodule.so files to their .rc resource
version-identifier compilations, and replace the use of awk for generating
.rc files formerly used for Apache 2.0.</div>
<p>Visual C++ 7.0 (.net) users should also use the Build
menu, Configuration Manager dialog to uncheck both the <code>Debug</code>
and <code>Release</code> Solution modules abs, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ssl.html">mod_ssl</a></code>
and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code>.
These modules are built by invoking <code>nmake</code> or the IDE directly
with the <code>BinBuild</code> target to build those modules conditionally
if the <code>srclib</code> directories <code>openssl</code> and/or
<code>zlib</code> exist.</p>
<p>Exported <code>.mak</code> files pose a greater hassle, but they are
required for Visual C++ 5.0 users to build <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ssl.html">mod_ssl</a></code>,
abs (<code class="program"><a href="../programs/ab.html">ab</a></code> with SSL support) and/or
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code>. VC++ 7.0 (Visual Studio .NET) users
also benefit, <code>nmake</code> builds were faster than
<code>binenv</code> builds until the parallel compilation features
introduced in Visual Studio 2005. Build the entire project from within
the VC++ 5.0 or 6.0 IDE, preferably with mod_deflate, mod_ssl and abs,
then use the Project Menu Export for all makefiles (preferably, with
dependencies.) You must build the projects first in order to create
all dynamic auto-generated targets, so that dependencies can be parsed
correctly. Run the following command to fix the paths so they will build
anywhere:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
perl srclib\apr\build\fixwin32mak.pl
</code></p></div>
<p>You must type this command from the <em>top level</em>
directory of the httpd source tree. Every
<code>.mak</code> and <code>.dep</code> project file within
the current directory and below will be corrected, and the
timestamps adjusted to reflect the <code>.dsp</code>.</p>
<p>If you contribute back a patch that revises project files, we
must commit project files in Visual Studio 6.0 format. Changes
should be simple, with minimal compilation and linkage flags that
will be recognized by all VC++ 5.0 through 7.0 environments.</p>

<div class="section">
<h2><a name="projectcomponents" id="projectcomponents">Project Components</a></h2>
<p>The <code>Apache.dsw</code> workspace and <code>makefile.win</code>
<code>nmake</code> script both build the <code>.dsp</code> projects
of the Apache server in the following sequence:</p>
<ol>
<li><code>srclib\apr\apr.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>srclib\apr\libapr.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>srclib\apr-util\uri\gen_uri_delims.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>srclib\apr-util\xml\expat\lib\xml.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>srclib\apr-util\aprutil.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>srclib\apr-util\libaprutil.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>srclib\pcre\dftables.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>srclib\pcre\pcre.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>srclib\pcre\pcreposix.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>server\gen_test_char.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>libhttpd.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>Apache.dsp</code></li>
</ol>
<p>In addition, the <code>modules\</code> subdirectory tree contains
project files for the majority of the modules.</p>
<p>The <code>support\</code> directory contains project files for
additional programs that are not part of the Apache runtime,
but are used by the administrator to test Apache and maintain
password and log files. Windows-specific support projects are
broken out in the <code>support\win32\</code> directory.</p>
<ol>
<li><code>support\ab.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>support\htdigest.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>support\htpasswd.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>support\logresolve.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>support\rotatelogs.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>support\win32\ApacheMonitor.dsp</code></li>
<li><code>support\win32\wintty.dsp</code></li>
</ol>
<p>Once Apache has been compiled, it needs to be installed in
its server root directory. The default is the
<code>\Apache2</code> directory, of the same drive.</p>
<p>To build and install all the files into the desired folder
<em>dir</em> automatically, use one of the following
<code>nmake</code> commands:</p>
<div class="example"><pre>
nmake /f Makefile.win installr INSTDIR=<em>dir</em>
nmake /f Makefile.win installd INSTDIR=<em>dir</em>
</pre></div>
<p>The <em>dir</em> argument to <code>INSTDIR</code> gives
the installation directory; it can be omitted if Apache is
to be installed into <code>\Apache2</code>.</p>
<p>This will install the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><code><em>dir</em>\bin\httpd.exe</code> - Apache
executable</li>
<li><code><em>dir</em>\bin\ApacheMonitor.exe</code> - Service
monitor taskbar icon utility</li>
<li><code><em>dir</em>\bin\htdigest.exe</code> - Digest auth
password file utility</li>
<li><code><em>dir</em>\bin\htdbm.exe</code> - SDBM auth
database password file utility</li>
<li><code><em>dir</em>\bin\htpasswd.exe</code> - Basic auth
password file utility</li>
<li><code><em>dir</em>\bin\logresolve.exe</code> - Log file
dns name lookup utility</li>
<li><code><em>dir</em>\bin\rotatelogs.exe</code> - Log file
cycling utility</li>
<li><code><em>dir</em>\bin\wintty.exe</code> - Console window
utility</li>
<li><code><em>dir</em>\bin\libapr.dll</code> - Apache
Portable Runtime shared library</li>

<h3><a name="projectcomponents-warn" id="projectcomponents-warn">Warning about building Apache from the development tree</a></h3>
<div class="note">Note only the <code>.dsp</code> files are maintained between <code>release</code>
builds. The <code>.mak</code> files are NOT regenerated, due to the tremendous
waste of reviewer's time. Therefore, you cannot rely on the <code>NMAKE</code>
commands above to build revised <code>.dsp</code> project files unless you
then export all <code>.mak</code> files yourself from the project. This is
unnecessary if you build from within the Microsoft
Developer Studio environment.</div>
<div class="note">Also note it is very worthwhile to build the <code>BuildBin</code>
target project (or the command line <code>_apacher</code> or
<code>_apached</code> target) prior to exporting the make files.
Many files are autogenerated in the build process. Only a full
build provides all of the dependent files required to build proper
dependency trees for correct build behavior.</div>
<p>In order to create distribution <code>.mak</code> files, always
review the generated <code>.mak</code> (or <code>.dep</code>)
dependencies for Platform SDK or other garbage, machine specific
includes. The <code>DevStudio\SharedIDE\bin\</code> (VC5) or
<code>DevStudio\Common\MSDev98\bin\</code> (VC6) directory contains
the <code>sysincl.dat</code> file, which must list all exceptions.
Update this file (including both forward and backslashed paths, such
as both <code>sys/time.h</code> and <code>sys\time.h</code>) to ignore
such dependencies. Including local-install paths in a distributed
<code>.mak</code> file will cause the build to fail completely. And
don't forget to run <code>srclib/apr/build/fixwin32mak.pl</code> in
order to fix absolute paths within the <code>.mak</code> files.</p>
