Compiling ZLIB for svn 1.9.3 on Windows 7 using MSVC 2008
Folks, I was having issues compiling httpd and svn for use with Trac (via the python 2.7 bindings). I have compiled httpd 2.4.18 (with apr 1.5.1, apr-util 1.5.4, apr-iconv 1.2.1, openssl 1.0.2e, pcre 1.3.8 and mod_wsgi 4.4.21) and am now trying to compile svn. I noted the comments about zlibstat and ZLIB_WINAPI [1][2], so I edited: - zconf.h (added #define ZLIB_WINAPI) - bld_ml32.bat (added the /safeseh switch to both lines) ...and ran: - vcbuild /rebuild contrib\vstudio\vc9\zlibvc.sln "Release|Win32" This seems to compile OK so I copied the zlibstat.lib up to the zlib root. [1] http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/INSTALL (section E4 ZLib) [2] http://www.tannerhelland.com/5076/compile-zlib-winapi-wapi-stdcall/ Next I built SERF 1.3.8: > scons.py APR=\svn\httpd\srclib\apr APU=\svn\httpd\srclib\apr-util > OPENSSL=\svn\httpd\srclib\openssl ZLIB=\svn\zlib ...which reports success so I unpacked sqlite-amalgamation-3090200 and called gen-make: gen-make.py -t vcproj --vsnet-version=2008 --with-httpd=D:\svn\httpd --with-openssl=d:\svn\httpd\srclib\openssl --with-serf=d:\svn\serf --with-sqlite=d:\svn\sqlite --with-swig=c:\programs\swig --with-zlib=d:\svn\zlib ...and tried to build using subversion_vcnet.sln which resulted in lots of errors such as "error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _inflate" for a number of functions that all look like they come from zlib (plus some expected errors due to not having Perl etc.) In the end I got it running by _removing_ all the ZLIB_WINAPI defines in the Visual Studio project files and _not_ defining ZLIB_WINAPI in the main config file: this is the opposite of the advice in [1]! Does this sound correct? If so I think the INSTALL file needs updating. ~ Mark C

If so I think the INSTALL file needs updating. I get one test failure but it looks bad:- START: checksum-test.exe PASS: checksum-test 1: checksum parse PASS: checksum-test 2: checksum emptiness PASS: checksum-test 3: zero checksum matching svn_tests: E26: Decompressed data doesn't match expected size or crc with blocksize 17: Found crc32=0x3a74e3ee, size=241883. Verify your ZLib installation, as this should never happen FAIL: checksum-test 4: zlib expansion test (zlib regression) PASS: checksum-test 5: zero checksum cross-type matching PASS: checksum-test 6: checksum (de-)serialization END: checksum-test.exe ...so it looks like my "fix" may be wrong? Any suggestions? I'm off for tonight but I will try a clean rebuild of ZLib/serf/svn tomorrow morning if nothing else is suggested... Many thanks, ~ Mark C

Just disable assembly optimized code in zlib and everything should be fine. -- Ivan Zhakov
