Nginx win32 release code

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

In the nginx windows section it is mentioned that nginx / windows uses
native win32 API and not cygwin emulation model.

But I could not find the windows release source in the windows package.

Could somebody share me the windows release src or provide some pointers
for win32 porting ?

Thanks and Regards,
Sreekanth

Hello,

You won’t find the source for now, because : “The Windows version is
provided as a binary-only due to the current build process (which
currently uses some Wine tools). When the build process has been cleaned
up, source will be made available. Igor does not want to support build
issues with the current system.” (quote from :
http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxInstall)

Dear Igor and other core NGINX contributors,

It would be so much appreciated if the win32 source be released to the
public. You can imagine how much it means to developers like me who try
to make the Windows user to enjoy the great success of NGINX web server.
Source code is critical for in-depth development upon NGINX to make
revolutionay usage of the great NGINX engine.

A few months ago, we knew (with joy) that the source will be made
availalbe once the build process has been cleaned up. It would be great
if any of you can give some light on this? Thank you very much!!!

Sincerely,

Stewart

Hi,

I am using mingw+vc(cl) and configure to build the NGWSX on windows.
So Igor also can use the same way.

If you guys ever consider switching to cmake it does an awesome job of
generating native project files. This really can help with building
things on Win and other unsane platforms.

I think the whole point of Nginx is keeping it simple and avoid any kind

of dependencies as much as possible.

And it’s actually not that hard to build Nginx for windows. Just take
a look on the MSYS project. I think it comes with mingw, but you can
download it separately. Sure it needs a little help, but works.

Hi again,

I was planning to use configure to generate the VC project files.

Hi ngwsx,

Would you be able to share your way of building the NGWSX on windows
with mingw+vc(cl) and configure? Do you use the same NGINX source code
for linux? Any of your advice would be very appreciated! Thanks a lot in
advance.

Hi, ngwsx,

Sorry that I have been so DUMB all along that I just realize that your
login name is the same as the project name (NGWSX: nginx for windows). I
assume that you maintain the windows binary of NGWSX on “www.ngwsx.org”
? If yes, would you be so kind to share the source code (including the
part specially written for windows)? Thank you very much!!!

Best regards,

Stewart

I using msys tools and vc(cl.exe) to execute configure script and
generate the ‘Makefile’ file,
And then using nmake and vc(cl.exe) to build binary.
->Do you use the same NGINX source code for linux?
I have written some NGINX source code for windows.
