PLEASE NOTE: Native Lighttpd Windows builds are available at http://en.wlmp-project.net/
The last available Lighttpd for Windows build that I created using Cygwin was Lighttpd for Windows 1.4.17. Updated September 29, 2009.
lighttpd 1.4.10 for Windows is now available. Besides the normal upstream changes available at lighttpd.net/download/, this version for Windows has webdav properties from mod_webdav compiled in, as requested. I did try to make this release include the option to run lighty as a service, but came up empty. If I get it working, I’ll release a rev A.

Kev: i searched for cygwin1.dll files, but only one file came up, C:lighttpdsbin so that can’t be the issue.
problem is i cant reinstall windows because it is a dedicated server :( any idea’s ?
I am having an http post issue with lighttpd running on Windows. It is looking for the /var/tmp/some_up_file_name but there is no such thing as /var/tmp in Windows (this only applies to files bigger than 64KB)…how do I work around this?
Do I need to cross compile? If so, what is the best way for me to do this under Windows (since I need Windows binaries)?
Thanks a million guys.
Sami: what is the exact filename?
Kev: I found it in chunk.c (line 265)
How did you do the compile for Windows? Did you use cygwin? If you did which glibc, gcc, binutils, etc did you use and how did you set it up?
:)
hi,
since the bandwidth on this server http://www.wd-39.com/misc/lighttpd-1.4.10-win-setup.exe looks exceeded, i propose you to host the files on my ftp server which you could link to on your blog.
if youre interested, just reply to the above email address
bye

Kevin,
I am trying to install 1.4.10 for windows but I can’t get the actual install. Where can I dwonload it for windows?
thnx.
Sami: yes I used Cygwin and the versions of each of those tools I do not know off hand, I simply installed Cygwin with whatever tools it offered me. FiZZMO and deniz: See this comment (above actually, but click the link is quicker…) : http://www.kevinworthington.com/?p=106#comment-1442
Kevin: Was there anything special you had to do to compile lighttpd?
Thanks.
Kev: i found it :D , the problem was coused by the anti-virus scanner i use norman virus control (www.norman.com) after deleting and installing nod32 it worked like a charm
Sami: I am going to put together a HOWTO for building lighttpd on Windows very soon. The best hint I can give you for now is to install everything that Cygwin offers; then configure lighttpd with –prefix=C:/lighttpd (note that it’s two dashes; prefix; equals; [the path], using a forward (unix-like) slash).
Kristiaan: I’m glad you got it resolved.
#setenv.add-response-header = ( “X-Secret-Message” => “42″ )
It definately is 42 :D
