Because of the way the libs are bound to one another (it's reasonably bogus but we don't really want to change this before APR 2.0 lest folks get really confused) they need the relative path ..\..\apr. If you were building the dynamic libs, this wouldn't be a problem, because those will seek through the LIB path. try naming your apr, apr-iconv and apr-util dirs in the same directory and your build will complete, no issues. I'll give this still just a bit more thought.
