hi all

the docs say MP_APXS may go away, but I recall some discussion to the contrary. has the status of MP_APXS changed?

do they? I think it's quite the opposite now and I have updated the docs. I guess I've missed some places, please tell me where.


Now that Randy has added APXS for win32, we don't need MP_AP_PREFIX for the DSO build. Though we will need it for the static build, so both are here to stay.

I can't recall the exact reason why, but a while ago I switched to MP_APXS because I couldn't get MP_AP_PREFIX to work properly on muliple build environments.

the reason I'm asking is because I've started looking at Apache::BuildConfig to see if there isn't a way to make it versioned for muliple installs. I know we talked about this before, but IIRC it was in a different context. the thing that's bugging me today is this

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache-IncludeHook]$ perl Makefile.PL -apxs /apache/2.1/worker/perl-5.8.1/bin/apxs
...
>
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache-IncludeHook]$ make
...
cc -c  -I/apache/2.0/worker/perl-5.8.1/include
^^^
why is it 2.0? and not 2.1? Are you sure that /apache/2.1/worker/perl-5.8.1/bin/apxs doesn't' have 2.0 paths in it?


what I'd like is for ModPerl::MM::WriteMakefile to be able to pick up command like arguments from filter_args, then have Apache::BuildConfig use the same options that I used when MP_APXS=/apache/2.1/worker/perl-5.8.1/bin/apxs

a lot to ask, I know :)

so, any ideas as to an approach?

I don't understand the problem clearly, MP::MM::WM is using A::BuildConfig to get its data, so it's already aware of the command line args, no?
