When I did this I built everything: Perl, httpd, and mod_perl myself using VC2008 without using the IDE.

Let me give it a whirl then. :-) So I had the oppoortunity to give this a bit a test and from what I looks now the situation is a bit in dare state for building mod_perl for httpd 2.4.x on Windows - Strawberry Perl fails for mod_perl since its toolchain mostly relies on dmake (as previously said, not really working for mod_perl) - I was able to obtain a (seemingly) apxs_win32 from Apachelounge* -> without it you get the said error with both Windows Perl distributions. I focussed then on ActivePerl 5.18 since that one seems to be more closely tied to VC - ? - ActivePerl 5.18 at least contains ExtUtils:Embed 1.3001 (still fails initially but can be silenced by 'set MP_USE_MY_EXTUTILS_EMBED=1) - Within the "VS2012 x86 Natvie Tools Command Prompt" and a apxs.bat 'perl Makefile.pl' passes with some errors. (some progress at least!) - However the resulting Makefile doesn't take take care of the Windows environment as it wants to use dmake and gcc I'm not enough familiar with MakeMaker - any hint how to get further? I compared on a Ubuntu VM where the SVN HEAD builds properly without issues, so it is a Windows-specific problem. Best regards Mat * https://www.apachelounge.com/download/additional/
