I agree - but doing autoconf twice ( once in APR, once for jk ) is _bad_. Not only because it's double-ugly, but because it can result in inconsistencies. If you have APR built once, all you need is a Makefile. I already added Makefiles for JNI and Apache2, for IIS we can use the DSP. Apache13 is the only open issue, and I think a Makefile using APXS will be the best solution, plus using the APR detection results. As I said, I'm happy with any other tool that simplifies the life of other people. > autoconf chould just detect apxs location and grab java > include (jni) JAVA_HOME is what's typically used to locate java. And setting one env variable ( or editing build.properties-like file ) is trivial and common practice for jakarta projects. ( curently you have to pass options or edit Makefile, but the settings can easily go in a build.properties include ). > makefile.apxs allready works on native2 for apache 2.0 > and apache 1.3 and configure just detect if APR should be > used for apache 1.3. That's perfect. Just make sure it sets the defines that we need ( that select what we want ). > And it works when apache 2 / apr includes are in /usr/include/apache2 > and libapr in /usr/lib Perfect. > >As a secondary note, if anyone has some time we should > >look at sourceforge's ant-contrib and their CC task and > >eventually merge jkant into it, we shouldn't duplicate > >the effort. > > Hum, why didn't they include ant-contrib in ant cvs ? I think it's sometimes easier to work on sourceforge. Without Jon and politics.
