 On 64 bit windows, earlier versions of GS2 on SVN used to have an issue with race conditions (random failing due to asynchronous behaviour) when compiling up apache-httpd as part of GS2. Refer to [[http://wiki.greenstone.org/doku.php?id=en:developer:compiling_apache&#compiling_the_apache-httpd_included_with_gs2_on_64_bit_windows_7|Compiling the apache-httpd included with GS2 on 64 bit Windows 7]]. The following instructions were found to generally work with these older versions, but sometimes required recompiling when the first attempt failed. On 64 bit windows, earlier versions of GS2 on SVN used to have an issue with race conditions (random failing due to asynchronous behaviour) when compiling up apache-httpd as part of GS2.
