Thanks Bill... but I have noticed this first dependency since APR IS
NOT delivered with httpd (at least with CVS). One have to
checkout ap, apr-util and apr-iconv in the httpd/srclib directory...
Sure, and this is just fine with the developers. APR actually is not THIS
project, although it's an Apache Software Foundation project developed at
([email protected]). But we deliver all these things you mention with
the win32 src zipfile, and all but apr-iconv in the unix tarball.
Anyway, I give up with ant as a building tool since no one understand
that autoconf/configure is only Linux,BSD or whatever Unix dependent...
None are using autoconf which needs m4 which needs .....
Apples and oranges. Ant doesn't solve this problem, it's merely a way
(like make/gmake/nmake etc) to compile files.
*Should* we replace autoconf (m4, libtool, et al)? Sure :) These tools
are broken regularly (well, m4's pretty rock stable) from release to
release, so we have a lot of trouble predicting what will work on older
box X, even on *nix'es and *nix-alikes. Right now we have customized
solutions, or no solutions, on a per-platform basis.
Since APR must be solved (list address above) before httpd can be solved,
I'll treat further posts about ./configure, here at [EMAIL PROTECTED], as
nothing
more than trolling. If you care to join the discussion at [EMAIL PROTECTED],
about
replacing unix-script configure or make files, then by all means join us.
