Is libevent required for building memcached for windows?

Question

I accidentally deleted my previous post. Could I know exactly why I should compile libevent to be able to build memcached? Actually, I can already use memcached for windows without compiling libevent and I also installed memcached as a service. Nothing odd happens.

Answer 1

This is old but just for the record: you installed the exe that already have the lib included. You would need libevent library if you're trying to build the exe from the source code.

Answer 2

Libevent is one of the easiest things I've had to compile on Windows-- at least using Mingw. If you want really easy, just use the memcached binary available at Northscale labs website: http://labs.northscale.com/memcached-packages/
