Trying to scratch a personal itch tonight. I'd like to build my
checked out tree against a checkout of {apr,apu}, which sit somewhere
else on my system. As far as I can tell, this is currently not
possible. I tried to point buildconf to my working copies: it borks.
The following patch to buildconf (also attached) unborks:
You have to buildconf both the apr and apr-util source trees before
doing so in the httpd tree, which is not unreasonable IMO. I think it'd
be surprising behaviour for the httpd buildconf to go and regenerate the
configure script in the external directories so -0 on the patch.
I think the problem is that although buildconf claims to look in srclib/apr
and ../apr, configure.in only runs APR_FIND_APR on srclib/apr, so never
looks in ../apr. I have been running with the attached patch instead,
but I think the aim is the same.. (There is a problem here..)
What's significant about ../apr though? It's outside our build tree, so
shouldn't be in the list of 'default paths'.
Doesn't
./buildconf --with-apr=../apr
solve your problems? We can certainly expand the arg to a full path, if
that's an issue, and also we really should set up ./configure so that
you don't have to re-declare --with-apr all over again after providing
that to buildconf.
I'd offer another comprimize, though, if you want to treat the httpd's
parent directory as 'srclib'. What about --with-srclib=.. ?
