How to compile mod_webkit for Apache 2 on Windows

Apologies for the HTML format, I didn't want any of the text in the
batch file below to get wrapped. If anyone has a better suggestion,
please let me know.

This is for anyone who might end up searching on this issue. These
instructions came from an install on a dual Xeon system running Windows
Server 2003 SP1 with Apache 2.0.59. I ended up compiling my own because
whenever I tried loading the binary mod_webkit.dll included with
Webware, Apache would either lock up, or in another configuration simply
die with a syntax error saying it couldn't find the module. Recompiling
fixed that.

1. Download and install:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/download/

None of the optional stuff needs to be installed from MSVC++.

Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK Web Install:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en#filelist

Here I did the "Typical" install.

3. Make the batch file in the Webware-0.9.x/WebKit/Adapters/mod_webkit2
directory look like this:

@echo off

rem Batch file for compiling mod_webkit with
rem the free Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition

Set PATH=C:\Progra~1\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin;C:\Progra~1
\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE;%PATH%
Set INCLUDE=%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include;%INCLUDE
%
Set LIB=%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\lib;%LIB%

Set PATH=%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Platform SDK\Bin;%PATH%
Set INCLUDE=%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Platform SDK\Include;%INCLUDE%
Set LIB=%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Platform SDK\Lib;%LIB%

Set APACHE=%ProgramFiles%\Apache Group\Apache2

Set PATH=%Apache%\bin;%PATH%
Set INCLUDE=%Apache%\include;%INCLUDE%
Set LIB=%Apache%\lib;%LIB%

cl /MT /W3 /GX /O2 /YX /FD /LD /D "WIN32" /D "NDEBUG" /D "_WINDOWS" /D
"_MBCS" /D "_USRDLL" /D "MOD_WEBKIT_EXPORTS" /I "%Apache%\include"
mod_webkit.c marshal.c /link libapr.lib libaprutil.lib libhttpd.lib
kernel32.lib ws2_32.lib

copy mod_webkit.dll "%Apache%\modules\mod_webkit.so"

4. Run the batch file from inside that directory. It complains of a few
deprecations and an obsolete switch, but these didn't seem to have any
effect on my DLL. From there you'll need to configure Apache with the
appropriate LoadModule line, as well as the Location directive as
described in the Webware installation documentation.
