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 1.4.9a For Windows has been released. What’s the ‘a‘, you ask? Well this version is still built from 1.4.9’s sources from www.lighttpd.net, but I’ve made a few minor improvements in the setup package and the biggest difference is that the ‘doc’ directory has been added, by popular demand.

Thanks mate – now i can kick apache into touch locally too :D
You’re welcome, Scott.
Kevin I also sent you an email:
1. Not sure if you can build SSL support into the package? This includes building lighttpd with openssl option and including ssl related DLLs into the installer.
2. Are the .a and .la files necessary to be included in the installation? I think the .dll files will do.
3. Is there any particular reason that you don’t want the user to choose the installation folder? Any particular reason to switch from Program Files to c:/lighttpd ?
jlist: I will look into #1 and #2. As for #3, when building the package, it must be built for a particular target directory. Version 1.4.7 was built for C:/Program Files/lighttpd but many people asked for C:/lighttpd instead. In addition, sometimes when building a package using Cygwin, directories with spaces can have problems. I figured this solves both of those issues. If you need to have lighttpd for windows in another directory, I might be able to work with you to make that happen via a custom build.
