Windows builds of v1.7.0

[Jan-E]

@icing I tried to compile v1.7.0 for Windows. To do that, I grabbed the dsp-files from the 2.4.x branch of the Apache sources and created new project files. However, both the VC9 and VC11 builds failed with these errors:

  h2_bucket_beam.c
h2_bucket_beam.c(180): error C2491: 'ap_hook_beam_bucket' : definition of dllimport function not allowed
h2_bucket_beam.c(180): error C2491: 'ap_hook_get_beam_bucket' : definition of dllimport function not allowed
h2_bucket_beam.c(180): error C2491: 'ap_run_beam_bucket' : definition of dllimport function not allowed

I did not try the VC14 build yet, but I guess that one fails as well. If and when I find the solution for this issue I will post it here.

Arg, no idea what the problem there is. Hope we find a fix. Thanks for looking into this.

There is something on MSDN:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/62688esh.aspx
However, there is no __declspec(dllimport) anywhere in mod_http2.

Maybe some guys at Apachelounge know the solution:

Same error with a VC14 build

Could you kindly check if https://github.com/icing/mod_h2/releases/tag/v1.7.1 fixes the issues?

Closing in. I am getting 192 unresolved externals at linking time, but that is probably something that has to be solved in the VC project files. I do not have the time to resolve this at the moment, but maybe Steffen of Apachelounge has.

Examples of the missing externals:

h2_bucket_eoc.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _apr_bucket_shared_copy
h2_bucket_eos.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _apr_bucket_shared_copy

h2_session.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__apr_snprintf
h2_util.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__apr_snprintf

Looks like the apr_/apr-util_ stuff is no longer found at link time. The h2_bucket_eoc.c has not been touched in recent releases, for example.

[Jan-E]

Yeah, that is probably caused by recreating the VC project files from the dsp's.

I took the previous project files once again, removed h2_response, added h2_headers and the compilation went fine.
