I'm attempting to build nxlog with some updated libraries:

• Latest APR (1.5.2)
• Non-Heartbleed vulnerable OpenSSL sources
• PCRE 8.37
• Zlib 1.2.8

After building all the dependencies I'm a little stuck on getting nxlogs to build, specifically I'm stuck on the step where I run ./configure

At first it couldn't find apr-1-config, so I added /local/apr/bin to the path.

Then it couldn't fine libapr-1 so I added /local/apr/lib to the path, this is where the problems started. When APR built there wasn't a "libapr-1" file in /local/apr/lib, only libapr-1.a, libapr-1.la, libapr-1.dll.a.

Did I build APR incorrectly?

I'm trying to build this on windows

List of steps to get where I am:

1. Install MINGW using MinGW Installation Manager

Add packages:

• mingw-developer-toolkit
• mingw-base
• mingw-expat bin
• mingw32-libexpat dev
• msys-libopenssl dev
• msys-automake
• msys-autoconf

Setup msys fstab (c:/mingw     /mingw)

2. Install Python (2.5)

3. Add Python and mingw to system path (C:\Python25;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin)

3. Get and build APR source (I could not get APR iconv to compile)

Download:

• http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.11.tar.gz
• http://mirror.nexcess.net/apache//apr/apr-1.5.2-win32-src.zip
• http://mirror.nexcess.net/apache//apr/apr-util-1.5.4-win32-src.zip
• http://sourceforge.net/projects/pcre/files/pcre/8.37/pcre-8.37.zip/download
• http://zlib.net/zlib128.zip

Build:

1. Extract all files to c:\mingw\msys\1.0\src
2. Compile libiconv
   1. cd libiconv-1.11

   2. ./configure CFLAGS="-O2 -s -mms-bitfields -march=i686" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -s -mms-bitfields -march=i686"

   3. make && make install
3. Compile APR
   1. cd apr
   2. ./buildconf
   3.  

      ./configure CFLAGS="-O0 -s -mms-bitfields -march=i686" CXXFLAGS="-O0 -s -mms-bitfields -march=i686"

   4. make && make install
   5. cd ..
4. Compile APR-UTIL
   1. cd apr-util-1.5.4
   2. ./buildconf --with-apr=/usr/src/apr-1.5.2

   3. ./configure CFLAGS="-O2 -s -mms-bitfields -march=i686" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -s -mms-bitfields -march=i686" --with-apr=/usr/src/apr-1.5.2

   4. make && make install
   5. cd ..
5. Compile PCRE
   1. cd pcre-.37
   2. ./configure
   3. make && make install
   4. (make threw an error corrected with make clean, autoconf -i --force, started back at step 1)
   5. cd ..
6. Compile ZLIB
   1. cd zlib-1.2.8
   2. make -f win32/Makefile.gcc
7. Compile nxlog
   1. cd nxlog-ce-2.8.1248
   2. ./configure

This is where the problems began. First it couldn't find apr-1-config.

Fixed by adding /local/apr/bin to path.

Now it can't find libapr-1, addint /local/apr/lib to the path doesn't help. There is no libapr-1 file in the MinGW directory tree. Ideas?
