http://nginx.org/en/docs/howto_build_on_win32.html claims that nginx can be built with Visual C/C++, however auto/configure always fails here: https://github.com/nginx/nginx/blob/master/auto/types/sizeof because <sys/time.h> is not part of Visual C/C++. Nevertheless, the Windows binaries that are posted seem to be compiled with it, as there are string references in the executable to "Visual C++ CRT". So I feel like I must be missing something obvious.

Please help!

Stick to a binary ready version http://nginx-win.ecsds.eu/

nginx for Windows http://nginx-win.ecsds.eu/

I wish I could, but I need to make changes to the source. The circumstances are not really important. Suffice it to say that my goal is to build it myself.

Are you saying that the Windows build is no longer supported? If so, how do you explain the Windows binaries?
