I'll go ahead and create an APR directory. To keep things simple and clear I'll not touch configure - build.xml will detect if APR_INCLUDE/apr.h is present and compile the apr-dependent files. The APR code will be entirely optional for now - when we are comfortable and everything is tested we can deprecate the current platform-specific code ( or leave it in - it doesn't hurt and people who have any problem will have a fallback ) > The actual makefiles logic is a bit too complex I think there should be more > targets to remove the automaticly generated makefiles. Is there any reason we don't use GNU make ? This would allow many simplifications in the build files ( the VPATH is one clear one, we could also simplify a lot by using the many functions available in gmake ). I would also like to have built.properties included in the Makefile - it would allow a consistent mechanism of setting preferences ( paths, etc ) ( i.e. consistent with tomcat and other jakarta projects ). Not sure how difficult it would be, but when we switch to APR we'll have no reason to use configure - everything is supposed to be portable ! > But is it is still necesary to keep native makefiles when we have a new _nice_ > tool? For a while, yes, it's better to have a smooth transition. And we first need to make sure everyone is comfortable with a new build system.
