Hmm. Normally, Apache tells APR and APRUTIL to build statically, by passing --disable-shared (to libtool). Not sure why you have a .dylib for APR unless you separately configured it without that switch. APR should be passing the same flag(s) to the MM configuration, which would result in it seeing --disable-shared also. I'm guessing that you're seeing some kind of skew in there. Regarding linking, clients are expected to use apr/libapr.la plus anything they find in LIBTOOL_LIBS in APRVARS (and yes: there is a status item to namespace protect the stuff in APRVARS). If client apps are not libtool-aware, then it is best for them to use an installed copy of APR. The .a and/or .so will be directly available at the install point. [ although we don't have "install" working for APR(UTIL) at this point ] Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
