RE: Apache 2 with mod_ssl for windows

Lucky you!.

I compiled 2.0.47 on my own it was rather cumber i have to download flex,
bison etc.

Compiling openssl was rather straight forward with using the perl script. I
set an environment variable in MS C++ 6.0 IDE. I am sorry I forgot it which
variable I used.
