running mod_ruby on Windows Vista with Apache 2.2.17

[zdavatz]

Hi

I am trying to run mod_ruby on Windows-Vista with Apache 2.2.17. Any hints how to compile? At the moment I get an access denied error, unfortunately.

Any hints?

Dear Shugo

Ok, I continued this somewhat and I can run configure but make results in the following error:

I am willing to pay to get this done for windows so it will work in the future as well. RubyInstaller is a great Windows Installer for Ruby and Windows is a big platform and mod_ruby is great software, very useful. It is sad, that it does not work on Windows.

I am saying this as somebody only runs Windows virtualized and uses Linux on a daily basis.

Dear Shugo-san

I am continuing this and it resulted in

C:\Users\zdavatz\software\mod_ruby-1.3.0>apxs -c mod_ruby.c C:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe -Wall -O2 -D WIN32 -D _WINDOWS -D NDEBUG -I"C: \Apache2.2\include" /c /Fomod_ruby.lo mod_ruby.c gcc.exe: /c: No such file or directory gcc.exe: /Fomod_ruby.lo: No such file or directory In file included from C:\Apache2.2\include/ap_config.h:25:0, from C:\Apache2.2\include/httpd.h:43, from mod_ruby.h:104, from mod_ruby.c:33: C:\Apache2.2\include/apr.h:57:0: warning: ignoring #pragma warning apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536

what does the

/Fomod_ruby.lo: No such file or directory

error mean? Can that be fixed easily? I am using mingw gcc 4.5.0 on windows.

PS: I am logging my steps here, so you can see how I installed apxs on Windows. http://dev.ywesee.com/wiki.php/Apache/Apxs
