[Mingw-msys] Apache + mod_perl

[Lucian A. <luc...@vi...>]

Dear all,

I want to get Apache (2 preferably) and mod_perl compiled under Win32 
with MinGW/MSys. In the past I have always used VC6, and I would like to 
switch, but I don't want to use cygwin.

Has anybody managed to do this?

My main problem is compiling Apache's APR - I get 'decision on anonymous 
shared memory allocation method failed' when running configure.

Googling only gave me a few results - the most promising of which were:
http://hypermail.linklord.com/new-httpd.old/2002/Jun/0595.html
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/ModPerlDistributionOnWindows

I realise that I may have to install a binary release of Apache, which 
is a pity, as I was hoping to stay away from the nmake/VC compiler.

Another alternative may be accepting mingw + cygwin as the best method.
