Hi all,

I want to download and compile the source for Apache and SSL on Windows
but I don't have Visual C++ nor do I have the funds to buy Visual C++
just for this task. Is there another compiler (like gcc on Linux) I
can use on Windows to compile this?

Thanks --

Sam

Far easier to just install linux or UNIX operating system.

Hi. Actually if it were up to me I'd be on Linux -- that's what I've
ran at home and on laptop for well over 6 years, but at work I'm stuck
on Microsoft Windows. That's why I'm asking this question because I
KNOW how to do this in Linux and OSX, but not Windows ... and I don't
want to give Uncle Bill any more of my companies hard earned money.

Hi Dave,

As I mentioned to the 'Newsgroup Poster' dude, at work Windows is my
only option... they don't want to use Linux for some reason, but me
personally Linux and OSX are all I use outside of work. I haven't had
a Windows box at home in well over 6 years. I don't like Windows, I
hate the way Microsoft does stuff, and if up to me I'd never touch it,
but alas at work I don't have an option.

FWIW,

Sam
