Topic: Trying to compile source code of Apache 2.4.41 ?

[ghjayanth]

Dear All,

I am trying to compile source code of Apache 2.4.41 on my windows x64 machine using VS2015. Unfortunately I am getting an error saying "Cannot load the project due to a corrupt project file".

I have compiled and used the following dependencies:
apr-1.7.0
apr-util-1.6.1
apr-iconv-1.2.2
zlib-1.2.11
libxml2-v2.9.9
lua-5.3.5
nghttp2-1.39.2
libexpat-R_2_2_7
openssl-1.1.1c
pcre-8.43

All the above compiled dependencies are placed under "httpd-2.4.41\srclib" except libexpat. I have placed libexpat under "httpd-2.4.41\srclib\apr-util\xml"

After compiling the above dependencies, I ran "httpd-2.4.41\srclib\apr\build\lineends.pl" and "httpd-2.4.41\srclib\apr\build\cvtdsp.pl -5" commands in windows command prompt (Latest version of PERL is installed).

After this, I am trying to open the "httpd-2.4.41\Apache.dsw" project in VS2008 which is leading me to "Cannot load the project due to a corrupt project file" error.
VS2008 is used to convert .dsw to solution file.

Please help me in fixing the issue. [/url]
