No need to hold breath waiting for it. It's not coming this week unless someone fixes it.

Currently trunk is broke on Windows. Stefan's switch from ap_expr to the one from mod_ssl is not in the Win build system, so it doesn't compile. I had looked over the unix changes and tried to do same but I'm getting plenty of errors throughout libhttpd.

The changed are documented on http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/de/developer/new_api_2_4.html
Also the expression parser has been changed read in bug 50255

[mario]

There were some changes, now it looks better, but libhttpd still does not build

libhttpd - 4 error(s), 5 warning(s)
========== Build: 5 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

[Gregg]

I saw that, one specifically was in an area fataling for me.
I just ran svn update and am going to hack at it again, see if I cannot figure it out. If not, since Jim just said T&R tomorrow, I'm going to -1 T&R till Windows build is fixed.

[mario]

You are right. A broken build is not a good start for a release.

LOL put a bug in bugzilla that windows build is broken   

[Gregg]

I went straight to the dev list with it, if they're thinking of T&Ring tomorrow, one must squeak loudly!

[Gregg]

It's up, it ain't gonna build and even when it does it's gonna get ugly.

Just swaping out the files in libhttpd.dsp is not enough. The same build event in mod_ssl needs to be run against the .y & .l files. I cannot figure how  they got the Lexical target's event to fire during a release/debug target build.

That can be worked around and in a way so can this.

There is a requirement for Flex 2.5.35. Well, if you start digging around for this version on Windows, you wont find much. I was able to find a MinGW & a cygwin version.
MinGW: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
Cygwin: http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/misc/winflex/

If I gotta install MinGW or Cygwin, they may as well just scrap Visual Studio and go to a MinGW/GCC build for Windows, which I've seen mention of being ugly.

[mario]

I prefer http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

I don't the depencies to the cygwin files when then files are build with gcc.

[Gregg]

Yes Mario,

But look at the version of Flex there ...
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/flex.htm

2.5.4a which was released for Unix June 27, 1997.

C:\buildprep\httpd-2.3.8>flex -Putil_expr_yy -s -B .\server\util_expr_scan.l
".\server\util_expr_scan.l", line 32: unrecognized %option: reentrant
".\server\util_expr_scan.l", line 33: unrecognized %option: bison-bridge

[mario]

:-/ I see. That's a real pittty.

[Gregg]

You know, Jim pulled 2.3.7 from vote before I even got a copy of it cause it would not build on Solaris or OSX. Interestingly, he knew there were problems in Win cause of my mail so I like how he worded this one

"Pre-test tarballs of httpd-2.3.9-alpha..."

Pre-test ... that's funny to this nerd.

[mario]

I read the dev list mails... seams 2.3.9 is dead on arrival. I think 2.3.10 will do better 

[Gregg]

I'm sure it will. Now that Bill's back from holiday he'll look it over.

The warning count is getting quite deafening. 91 warnings off an svn pull today.
Guenter has the list of them, he's stomped out one in mod_ssl and looks like the other three are about to be stomped out as well.

The biggest offenders are apr_dbd_odbc and htcacheclean.

htcacheclean issues 21 warnings while apr_dbd_odbc issues 17, but it is built twice so 34
Just these two are 55, and they're minor stuff that MSVC considers sloppy I guess, not providing type conversions in-line.

Other than that, 2.3.10 is looking good to go.

Edit: htcacheclean: 0 warnings as of , well, bill just -1 the change
