Topic: Error building libaprutil-1.dll (Apache 2.4.38 - Win64 bits)

[alan_bugs]

I come from the question about Building Apache 2.4.38 for Windows 64 bit https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=8237

And I try to compile Apache following this steps -> https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=6462

I hope to count on your valuable support because I'm a novice in this of Apache and it's the first time I try to compile it. Following first steps I don't find fault, until to number 9 and then the console sends me the following message when I excecute "nmake".

Please, please be specific if I should edit any file

Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

That must have been written before apr-util 1.6.

Your missing Expat which is required by apr-util.

These days it's a pain in the backside but this should give you an idea. Specifically my posts at https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=7827
