Don't jump to conclusions on either matter... Maybe you're just the person to try the freely available SDKs/command-line compilers from Microsoft and see what impediments, if any, you encounter and document any workarounds or at least engage the development community on issues you don't know how to resolve. Or maybe someone else will do it and share their experiences. Nobody has posted httpd binaries for Windows to httpd.apache.org in quite a while, and they were never "official" anyway, whatever that means. Windows is of course supported in the source, and as someone else pointed out there are non-ASF providers of binaries for Windows. > > On 13 November 2013 15:59, Eric Covener <cove...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 9:41 AM, STF <laps...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > Hi, >> > >> > I've found back this old thread about binary for Windows.
