I'll try and look at it myself now, but using VC++ 6 so may be difficult... I am using Apache 2.0.48 win32 sources and Python 2.3.3 standard distribution... Compiling Apache for windows is described here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/platform/win_compiling.html That seems to work fine with VC++ 6 Compiling mod_python for windows seems to require compiling in src based on the project file for VC++7 I took the vc7to6_prjconverter tool from http://www.codeproject.com/tools/prjconverter.asp and converted the file for VC++6 Then I had to manually change paths to point to my Apache include and Release (lib) directories and my Python include and libs directories (note that I didn't have to compile Python from source as the include and libs are included with the standard distribution...) These originally are set as $(PYTHONSRC) and $(APACHESRC) in the include and libs paths. I also had to manually add the srclib/apr/include and srclib/apr-util/include directories from Apache to the include path, and the srclib/apr/Release and srclib/apr-util/Release directories to the library path. Then mod_python linked successfully! To build the win32 installer it needs to be done in the dist directory (apparently under Unix) I had troubles trying to run configure on MinGW as it needs an apxs to find... but the APXS is not actually needed for the setup script (the code that used it is commented out) So I ran configure on Linux, and built the installer there... This is done by copying src/Release/mod_python.so to the dist directory. In fact I found that by simply copying the setup.py generated on Linux I could run this on Windows The instruction is: setup.py bdist_wininst --install-script=win32_postinstall.py I hope the above instructions are useful to anyone else trying the same thing. I have not yet fully tested this binary or installer but it seemed to run our applications fine. mod_python.so and mod_python-3.1.3.win32.exe can be downloaded from: http://davidf.sjsoft.com/files/mod_python.so http://davidf.sjsoft.com/files/mod_python-3.1.3.win32.exe I would appreciate feedback (on this list) so that hopefully these can be included in the official release ...
