here's the reason of not building *extra* things by their own build. Initially there was a concept not to use own build for every *extra* things, such as APR or CLASSLIB in order to support different compilers and configurations. For APR it was not trivial to build it in different modes (debug/release, different compilers etc.), that was required for building DRLVM. For CLASSLIB it was done primary for the same reasons and it was really easy to specify a compiler and a mode to build. So we have written our own builds for such *extra* things (as a part of drlvm build). But in the APR case it was impossible to produce the same building as APR did on linux. So the compromise decision was done to invoke the APR configure, and then to build using drlvm build. Such decision may be considerred as a hack, but it really simplifies the building for different configurations (debug/release), different compilers, etc. But you can try to build APR using its own build (make-based), but please be sure that it will be able to build in debug/release configurations and it will be very good if it will be possible to build by different compilers (msvc/icl/gcc/icc), not only by default compilers.
Uhh, you can't just switch compilers without rerunning configure... Or, well, you could, but it seems like a screamingly bad idea to me. Who knows what subtle but important little thing could change. That said, you should just be able to set the CC env var to the new compiler, rerun configure, and there you go. Also, the APR make based build won't work for visual c++, it's just not built for it. Patches to make it work more than welcome, but it's not there yet. There are patches out there to make it work for Mingw on windows, but nobody has finished applying them because they're a bit invasive. That said, I still think hardcoding a specific version of APR into your built system like this is a horrible idea. As it stands any time you submit a bug report to APR the first response will likely be "ok, now build it the right way and see if it happens then". -garrett --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
