I don't mind doing it but whenever I try do build it in VS2010, I always get errors and so I gave up. even VS 2012 is out now and it is a very good package to create fast binaries.
As far as I know, the 32 bit binaries that were made available previously were compiled with MS Visual Studio 6, which is about fifteen years old by now. I still have copy of that, though. The instructions are a part of the Apache documentation: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/platform/ So it would be still possible to build it yourself although the defined way includes using a proprietary and ancient compiler, which is no longer sold. And of course, sites like Apache Lounge and Apache Haus also distribute their own binary builds, including 64 bits. Still, it would be nice if Apache foundation would provide a binary build, or link to any of these sites directly. On Linux, most people tend to apt-get or yum install their binaries, on Windows there is no such solution. -- Mike
