``place the Apache core code (all the stuff which usually forms the httpd binary) into a DSO libhttpd.so, an executable program libhttpd.ep and a bootstrapping executable program httpd'' with $ ./configure --prefix=</path/to/install> --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE ... , I get an executable, with the path to libhttpd.ep being hardcoded to </path/to/install>/lib/. This is highly undesirable, because it makes it impossible to build relocatable [e.g.] binary RPM packages for such an apache. >How-To-Repeat: $ ./configure --prefix=</path/to/install> --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE ... $ make $ make install root=</tmp/apache.install_root> $ mv /tmp/apache.install_root /tmp/apache.work_root $ /tmp/apache.work_root/usr/sbin/httpd -f <your_config_file> >Fix: The problem might be solved, if we used the same strategies to find libhttpd.ep as are used to find any lib*.so /*searching through $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ...*/. A related question is: "if ``libhttpd.ep'' contains anything, which is obviously reused outside apache itself, why then isn't it a DSO like any other on my system?" >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
