The problem is that its not possible to do an easy in-tree build since that would require a lot of changes, and should be only done by someone whoe's really familar with the current NetWare build system. I could now continue to explain why this is as it is, and what's wrong with the build system, but in order to make it better I would finally end up with rewriting it completely. When I talked to Brad about this years ago we both came to the conclusion that we should focus on making configure working to do a cross compile, but as I have just mentioned with APR even MingW32 which has far more complete and for other projects fully working cross compiler it still doesnt work, and since I am far away from being an configure expert I see no way to fix these things without someone's help; so we have to stay with the NetWare build system as is for now. Also there's zero benefit in trying to do so - the simplest way would be to compile it out-tree as spearate module, and the final results are that it previously with NWGNUmakefile nicely integrated and added all files to the main dist direcory where they should go. I have a batch file in the root of httpd-2.x.y which sets all needed env vars to SDKs, APR, APU and httpd root and finally calls 'make -f NWGNUmakefile' which then builds httpd + apr + apu. If I sit in the root dir of mod_ftp and provided that NWGNUftp-makefile is renamed to NWGNUmakefile then I only need to call this same batch file with full path, and mod_ftp builds nicely, and same batch with 'install' parameter does copy over everything like fixed conf, docs, module to the main httpd dist dir to the right folders. That's the simplest way it can go, and 100% same as compiling httpd self which is anyway the first required step in order to get the other processed files like apr|apu.h etc.
