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 ?

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](http://wiki.nginx.org/NginxInstall)) Bye Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[Re: nginx win32 release code](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,47122,54598#msg-54598)** > > Hi, In the nginx windows section it is mentioned that nginx / windows uses native win32 API and not cygwin emulation model.

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!!!

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. ---

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. Posted at Nginx Forum: [http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,47122,105403#msg-105403](http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,47122,105403#msg-105403) ---

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](http://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!!!
