Aborting!
The reason seems to be the mishandling of -DSERVER_SUBVERSION="PHP/3.0.3
AuthMySQL/2.20"
in src/Configure:
It's given as -DSERVER_SUBVERSION=\"PHP/3.0.3 AuthMySQL/2.20\" to the
commandline, so
gcc doesn't found: AuthMySQL/2.20"
It's misparsed at a "for ... in $CFLAGS" construct, which breaks at every space,
so it divides the define above in two unusable parts.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use two modules which set $SUBVERSION,
if you wish, I can email you the rpm spec file with which I'm building apache.
>Fix:
Correct handling of -DSERVER_SUBVERSION="PHP/3.0.3 AuthMySQL/2.20" in
src/Configure
My hack is (working on Linux, eg. with bash and GNU sed, will probably fail on
others):
