Re: Writing Apache 2 Modules

[Chris Monson]

Try looking at the subversion code.  It uses APXS and has a fairly 
intelligent set of macros to do it.  It also looks for and uses 
apr-config and apu-config.  It's pretty cool.

Good luck.  I can also send you the appropriate m4 files if you are 
interested.

I have yet to find a module that actually does this. I even scoured mod_php4.  
mod_perl2 the one I would know best doesn't help since it uses perl 
Makefile.PL.  I've seen lots of --with-apache=DIR, but doesn't help me very 
much.
