compiling apache2.2.6 package fails on cygwin 1.7

Thu Mar 11 23:00:00 GMT 2010

 But as obviously this package has succseefully been compiled under
 cygwin this cannot be the real problem..
 Does anybody have a hint what is going wrong here?

Yes, I used the apache2-2.2.6-1.sh script from the cygwin source tarball for apache2.2.6.
(package apache2/apache2-2.2.6-1-src). I also read 
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/*apache*2-2.2.6.README
but there are no hints or special instructions. 
This is why I am wondering; 
maybe the maintainer can tell if this is a general problem that he overcame 
in some way or if this seems to be pinned to this installation. Might this be a problem
with a 64 bit Windows operating system? 
Best regards,

Hello, we are trying to compile apache2 from the cygwin-supplied source 
tree using the apache2-2.2.6-1.sh script.
The reason I want to compile an own apache is that we need some 
additional modules not available from
the cygwin repositories. After success, I plan to publish these for the 
community.
I think we have all the necessary packages such as apr, apr-util, ldap, 
ssl and the respective devel packages.
This cygwin runs on a w2k3 server (64 bit).
The compile step goes well, in the linker phase we get an error in the 
final step:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/httpd-2.2.6/.build'
/usr/share/apr/build-1/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -O2 
-L/usr/lib -o httpd2 -export-dynamic
*/usr/lib/libcygwin.a(libcmain.o):(.text+0xa9): undefined reference to 
`_WinMain@16'*
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [httpd2] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/httpd-2.2.6/.build'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
The only reference to this error that I could find refers to a missing 
main() or Winmain() function:

But as obviously this package has succseefully been compiled under 
cygwin this cannot be the real problem..
Does anybody have a hint what is going wrong here?
Thanks for a hint,
Jakob Curdes
