I admit there are lots of information of Apache on Windows if you Google
it, but none are from Apache itself. The latest official Apache build
for Windows is for 2.2.22 and only 32-bit. The project files are for
Visual Studio 6 and so old I cannot even convert it to Visual Studio 12.
One of the place I found for Windows build is in Apache lounge, but it
does not include source code and the project configuration with the
binary they published. I appreciate what they have done but I would
feel more comfortable if I know the source it is built from. Security
issue prevents a lot of companies from using open soured binary without
knowing the corresponding source code. But I guess this is how Apache
Lounge can keep itself relevant.
It seems ASF has totally stopped support of Apache HTTP server on
Windows platform in 2.4 either 32-bit or 64-bit, at least officially,
and whatever has been done by third parties on Windows does not get
contributed back to ASF, either.
It is true things are much easier on *nix, but *nix and Windows do not
have be mutually exclusive. In the real world both camps have their
followers, depends on which area you look. They can and have to co-exist.

so that users can compile the source files for their own use. I
have been working on 2.2.23 for about a week to no avail. Why can't
it be as simple as "hello world" program?
Try Bill Gates?
Although I have to admit that a quick google for 'apache 2.2 windows'
gives me "About 9,240,000 results (0.27 seconds)" and at least the
first ten appear relevant.
As a last resort, change windows ==> *nix and experience the ease and
joy of a proper o/s.

I tried Visual Studio 2008 first but got a lot error messages saying
the project files are corrupted. So I resorted to use command line
tool but it still failed.
These are the error messages:
=============
C:\Projects\Apache\HTTP Server\2.4.3\httpd-2.4.3>nmake /f
Makefile.win _apacher

Please check out or download and unpack the Apache Portability Runtime
sources (apr, apr-iconv and apr-util) into your srclib dir.
Apache cannot build without these libraries!
Makefile.win(74) : fatal error U1050: Need srclib\ apr, apr-iconv
and apr-util
Stop.
===========
I downloaded the dependency library httpd-2.4.3-deps.tar.gz and
unpacked it. But it only contained apr and apr-util so I got the
same error message above.
Any idea how I can build on Windows with either IDE or command line?
Thanks.

I am trying to build Apache 2.4 on Windows 7 with Visual Studio
2012. In the document page
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/platform/win_compiling.html, it
says the workspace file to be used is Apache.dsw. However there is
another Apache-apr2.dsw that is newer and has similar projects
included. Which one should I use to convert to new Visual Studio?
Thanks.
