I hate apxs

however, during install (Configure.pl), it looks like you may have given it a trailing backslash in path to httpd.exe

Everything should be stored in
c:\xampp\apache\build\config_vars.mk

open it and look at everything that points to
c:\xampp\apache\bin

make sure there are no trailing backslashes

as far as building mod_httpbl .... I wish you luck.

No, none of the paths defined in config_vars.mk have a trailing slash and speficaly "c:\xampp\apache\bin" does not.

From the way you sound, will have trouble building mod_httpbl.c

Should I even try?

not unless you are very good at C and know how to work around unix/win compatibility problems. Then again there may be no problems using MinGW, I was using MS VC++.

I'm not very good at C therefore not very good at unix/win compatibility, I tried and I died Sad I was bummed till I started thinking about the implications of the module checking a BL on some server somewhere all the time and how much it could slow down responses.

as far as apxs, looking at the code in apxs.bat, $httpd variable is made up of sbindir & progname in config_vars.mk. so does maybe ... ahah

are the lines in config_vars.mk quoted? I do not see how the quotes got in the error message unless they, or one is. looking at your error I would tend to think that sbindir was quoted and does have a trailing slash tho maybe the quotes freaked out File::Spec->catfile to retrn a value in such a way.

if
sbindir = "C:\xampp\apache\bin\"
and
progname = httpd.exe

catfile them together in perl would produce a result of
"C:\xampp\apache\bin\"\httpd.exe

exactly as the error shows.

Not sure if you still care to get apxs working tho.

Just quick response... will look at what you mentioned.
30yrs of c++ programing on QNX. Saying that I have not really programmed in 10yrs.

Will still try, but I really do not care to get to deep into it code.
