 <H1 ALIGN="CENTER">Compiling Apache for Microsoft Windows</H1>

 <P>There are many important points before you begin compiling Apache.
    See <A HREF="windows.html">Using Apache with Microsoft Windows</A>
    before you begin.</P>

 <P>Compiling Apache requires Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 (or later) to be
    properly installed. It is easiest to compile with the command-line tools
    (nmake, <EM>etc.</EM>..). Consult the VC++ manual to determine how to install
    them.</P>

 <P>First, unpack the Apache distribution into an appropriate
    directory. Open a command-line prompt, and change to the
    <CODE>src</CODE> subdirectory of the Apache distribution.</P>

 <P>The master Apache makefile instructions are contained in the
    <CODE>Makefile.win</CODE> file. To compile Apache on Windows, simply
    use one of the following commands:
 <UL>
 <LI><CODE>nmake /f Makefile.win _apacher</CODE> (release build)
 <LI><CODE>nmake /f Makefile.win _apached</CODE> (debug build)
 </UL>

 <P>These will both compile Apache. The latter will include debugging
    information in the resulting files, making it easier to find bugs and
    track down problems.</P>

 <P>Apache can also be compiled using VC++'s Visual Studio development
    environment. Although compiling Apache in this manner is not as
    simple, it makes it possible to easily modify the Apache source, or
    to compile Apache if the command-line tools are not installed.
    Project files (<CODE>.DSP</CODE>) are included for each of the
    portions of Apache. To build Apache from the these projects files
    you will need to build the following projects <EM>in this order</EM>:
 <STRONG> This needs updating for Apache 2.0 </STRONG>
  <OL>
    <LI><CODE>os\win32\ApacheOS.dsp</CODE>
    <LI><CODE>regex\regex.dsp</CODE>
    <LI><CODE>ap\ap.dsp</CODE>
    <LI><CODE>main\gen_uri_delims.dsp</CODE>
    <LI><CODE>main\gen_test_char.dsp</CODE>
    <LI><CODE>ApacheCore.dsp</CODE>
    <LI><CODE>Apache.dsp</CODE>
  </OL>

    In addition, the <CODE>src\os\win32</CODE> subdirectory contains
    project files for the optional modules (see below).</P>

 <P>Once Apache has been compiled, it needs to be installed in its server
    root directory. The default is the <CODE>\Apache</CODE>
    directory, on the current hard drive. </P>

 <P>To install the files into the <CODE>\Apache</CODE> directory
    automatically, use one the following nmake commands (see above):</P>
 <UL>
 <LI><CODE>nmake /f Makefile.win installr INSTDIR=<EM>dir</EM></CODE>
  (for release build)
 <LI><CODE>nmake /f Makefile.win installd INSTDIR=<EM>dir</EM></CODE>
  (for debug build)
 </UL>

 The dir argument to INSTDIR gives the installation directory; it can
 be omitted if Apache is to be installed into <SAMP>\Apache</SAMP>.

 <P>This will install the following:</P>

 <UL>
   <LI><CODE><EM>dir</EM>\Apache.exe</CODE> - Apache executable
   <LI><CODE><EM>dir</EM>\ApacheCore.dll</CODE> - Main Apache shared library
   <LI><CODE><EM>dir</EM>\modules\ApacheModule*.dll</CODE> - Optional Apache
       modules (7 files)
   <LI><CODE><EM>dir</EM>\conf</CODE> - Empty configuration directory
   <LI><CODE><EM>dir</EM>\logs</CODE> - Empty logging directory
 </UL>

 <P>If you do not have nmake, or wish to install in a different directory,
    be sure to use a similar naming scheme.</P>

 <P>
 Before running the server you must fill out the conf directory.
 Copy the *.conf-dist-win from the distribution conf directory
 and rename *.conf.  Edit the @@ServerRoot@@ entries to your
 actual server root (for example "C:\apache").  Copy over
 the conf/magic and conf/mime.types files as well.
