I had no problem with that when I compiled with the MS VC toolkit
compiler (free commandline only). Make sure you copied the winconfig.h
file to config.h and specified HAVE_CONFIG_H define to the compile
options.

these are exported for the provider modules (mod_ftpd_dbm for example).

you can safely comment that line out.. that is using a feature of apache
2.0.49 (I think) and above. I hadn't finished implementing the hook yet
(it would add extra text onto the /server-status page)

yeah, I just need someone with a debugger and good debugging skills to
figure why mod_ftpd crashes apache when you try and transfer a file. I
can login and navigate fine, just pulling a file crokes apache on
windows.
