Well, I said that the problems we had in mod_webapp due to APR should be solved in APR not in mod_webapp. I think that not a -1 for using APR sources instead APR installation. It is just a matter of configure/makefiles I am sure Pier will not -1 a proposal to support both APR sources and APR installation in mod_webapp. I am also worried with mod_webapp for Apache-2.0, what will happend when a internal typedef of APR comming from httpd will be used by mod_webapp and will be handled differently there because of different APR version? > Out > tomorrow or Friday... I am not every happy to use APR sources in mod_webapp, because I use a "libapr and --disable-shared" for mod_webapp on my test platforms (Linux and ReliantUnix). It did not work because APR needs some "system libraries". To work-around this problem I have added a LDFLAGS/CFLAGS in mod_webapp makefiles for that. I think that the information about which "system libraries" are neeed should be provided by APR in APRVARS. I have also tried with a shared libapr, but that was some weeks ago. I remember MM problems and some "system library missing". > > Pier
