How do i use this with the configure > script???? (damn it i'm being dumb) If I get this correctly, you're only used to the Windows GUI, and it's the command-line is kinda scary, right? If that's the case, there's not very much this list can do about that, but the people here can tell you which commands to execute to get to running configure.. When you have MSYS installed (which a previous mail pointed you to) you should have a baroque-like "M" somewhere on your desktop, and/or MinGW/MSYS/msys in your programs menu (under start) - click it. You now have a command-line. If the sources to your apache are in C:\hello\apache type $ cd /c/hello/apache to get there (don't type the dollar sign *) You can now type ./configure if you want to run the configure script (or just follow the rest of the instructions in your book). If you really want to edit "configure" (which I would not recommend as it's generated by autoconf, but from an earlier post of yours my guess is that you're doing it anyway), use a simple text editor to do it, not a Borland IDE.
Good luck :) rlc * if you hang around on lists like this one for a while, you will find that often, when someone tells you to type something on the command-line, there is a $ in front of what you're supposed to type, or a % if you have to be a super-user to do it. This is kind of a convention, which helps get more info into a single line - something geeks seem to like a lot ;)
