Can't Fully Install Passenger Apache2 Module

Rails
#1

Hello,
I’ve installed Apache 2 server, and now I’m trying to install
Passenger Apache 2 module via Cygwin on Windows. However, when I run
the command: passenger-install-apache2-module in cygwin I get the
below error message:

apxs:Error: /usr/bin/apr-1-config not found!.
apxs:Error: /usr/bin/apr-1-config not found!.
apxs:Error: /usr/bin/apr-1-config not found!.
apxs:Error: /usr/bin/apr-1-config not found!.

  • GNU C++ compiler… found at /usr/bin/g++
  • Ruby development headers… found
  • OpenSSL support for Ruby… found
  • RubyGems… found
  • Rake… found at /usr/bin/rake
  • Apache 2… found at /usr/sbin/httpd2
  • Apache 2 development headers… found at /usr/sbin/apxs2
  • Apache Portable Runtime (APR) development headers… not found
  • Apache Portable Runtime Utility (APU) development headers… not
    found

Am I missing a cygwin package to install? I did quite bit of research
to find out how to install Apache Portable Runtime/Utility on Windows,
but all the documentation I found was for Linux-based using yum
command and nothing for Windows.

I’m so close to install Passenger and it drives me crazy that I can’t
figure out how to install the Apache Runtime. Shouldn’t the Apache
Portable Runtime be embedded in the Apache2 install?

Please help!

Regards,
SS

You’ll need to install ‘apr’.

Good luck,

Conrad, I found and downloaded the ‘apr’, however in the README.dev
file in the folder where I unzipped the file, it’s asking me to use
Visual Studio to run nmake.
I’m using cygwin and I’ve install the ‘make’ package to be able to
execute ‘nmake’. However I keep getting in cygwin the error message:

bash: nmake: command not found

Do you know program I need to use so that I can run nmake command and
complete the ‘apr’ installation?
Any good documentation on APR installation will be of a huge help.

Thanks,
SS

From what I remember, nmake is a part of Visual Studio set of tools.
Also,
you might be able to locate a separate installer for it.

Good luck,
