It is helpful to be able to run buildconf prior to building APR. That
won't work anymore (ain't no ../apr/build/rules.mk prior to building APR).
This breaks Apache, which has buildconf that first runs apr buildconf then apr-util buildconf.
I thought the point of grabbing apr's rules.mk was to be able to build apr-util from a pre-installed apr.
Thing is that buildconf is for developers. Release tarballs do not require buildconf to be run. If you do not run buildconf, you can build apr-util with a pre-installed apr.
What am I missing?
i believe what he's saying is that apache's buildconf runs buildconf for apr and apr-util, but since configure hasn't been run in apr before apr-util's buildconf is run, rules.mk hasn't been generated yet, so it isn't there to copy.
perhaps we should copy over rules.mk.in, then have apr-util's configure turn it in to rules.mk (just speculating, i haven't looked at what would need to be done to make this work).
