Hi all,
I just checked in my changes for issue 118906 [1] that adds support for
system libraries for apr, apr-util, serf, and coinmp. These modules can
be found in ext_libraries/.
By default we still build our own versions of these libraries, so unless
you pass any of the switches
--with-system-apr
--with-system-apr-util
--with-system-serf
--with-system-coinmp
to configure, you should not be able to spot any differences.
I have been able to verify the use of the system libraries only on
Linux, because on the other platforms I could not successfully install
the libraries.
There may be minor problems with the OS/2 port. I don't have that
platform available for testing but am, of course, willing to help fix
any regression.
Best regards,
Andre
