Greetings.
apxs accepts only *.c files as its input. For other extensions it
doesn't invoke libtool in compile mode and several different issues
leading to empty Apache module creation. The most probably reason is
poor regex design.
We've been having a nice discussion on modules-dev about fixing apxs and
finally I decided to write a note here.
Here's what we found we think is poor and needs a fix:
//---------------------------------------------------------
around line 350
> foreach $f (@args) {
> if ($f =~ m|\.c$|) { <---------------- Here, bad
> coder! BAD!
> push(@srcs, $f);
> }
> else {
> push(@objs, $f);
> }
> }
//---------------------------------------------------------
around line 400
> foreach $s (@srcs) {
> my $slo = $s;
> $slo =~ s|\.c$|.slo|;
> my $lo = $s;
> $lo =~ s|\.c$|.lo|;
> my $la = $s;
> $la =~ s|\.c$|.la|;
> my $o = $s;
> $o =~ s|\.c$|.o|;
//---------------------------------------------------------
Where could I find current apxs maintainter?
Kind regards.
