I looked at this when you posted it previously, but I couldn't find the cause
and neglected to subsequently follow up. (To be clear, I'm just an interested
mod_perl user, not an Apache committer.)
What operating system is this on? I don't think you ever said, but maybe I
missed it.
It looked like everything worked up until you issued the command:
> perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=${fakeroot_dir}${app_dir}
> MP_AP_DESTDIR=${DESTDIR} DESTDIR=${DESTDIR}
Is that right?
When I compiled mod_perl 2.0.11 from source, I used this command:
perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/my/path/to/bin/apxs
That worked for me, but I haven't tried to compile mod_perl 2.0.12, tbh.
(Haven't seen a reason to upgrade.) However, I reported a possibly related
problem with an Apache installation in a non-standard directory when I tested
the release candidate of Apache::Test 1.43. At the time I was told my issue
would be addressed later, but it hasn't been (yet). And mod_perl 2.0.12
includes Apache::Test 1.43, AFAIK, so I'm not very surprised. I had to hack the
source for Apache::Test to get it to work with my Apache httpd installation.
My first suggestion is to determine if your command works with the mod_perl
2.0.11 source. If so, I feel you definitely have found a regression from
2.0.11, and you should file a bug in the issue tracker, please.
Next, I would suggest dropping one or both of the "*DESTDIR" options from your
"perl Makefile.PL" command to see if that makes any difference and possibly
experiment with "MP_APXS=/path/to/your/bin/apxs" instead of "MP_AP_PREFIX=...".
Just some ideas....
Hope this helps,
Ed
