Hi,
I am working on an APR based project, built using GNU make.
But now, besides feature and bug issues, I have one to introduce a CMake
based build. This needs a dedicated package finder for APR.
And here comes the serf, it has one for ARP. Reading the CMakeLists.txt I
noticed that it is enough to set APR_HOME and it will use the installed APR
library.
But, unfortunately, even with APR_ROOT set, I get errors during the build.
Checking the FindAPRE.cmake, I can see that it gets the directory of the
set APR_ROOT but it doesn't use it later (ex. in _apru_find_win_version.
etc).
In my opinion, all those functions, where find_path is called, should add
this APR_ROOT as an additional search path, in case of a defined APR_ROOT:
find_path(${_include_varname} "${_header_basename}.h"
PATHS
"${APR_ROOT}"
PATH_SUFFIXES
"include"
"${CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR}"
"include/apr-2"
"${CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR}/apr-2"
"include/apr-1"
"${CMAKE_INSTALL_INCLUDEDIR}/apr-1"
)
Remais one single, maybe rhetorical, question. Why does serf define this
package finder and not the APR itself?
Best regards,
Laszlo Graf
