From: Godmar Back <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Godmar Back) Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [email protected] Subject: Re: general/4219: JServ1.0b3 does not build: only compiles Hello.java Date: Sun, 11 Apr 1999 22:23:43 -0600 (MDT) I again fell victim to this time not automake, but autoconf (and my own stupidity). It's not --with-apache-dir, it's --with-apache-install. Of course, configure never complains if you specify an option that doesn't exist. It's like it doesn't care. With --with-apache-install, Apache configures successfully, even without giving --with-apache-src. Now I'm even more confused: how did MAKE_LIBJSERV get set? I thought it required $apache_dir_is_src to be true... but wait, let's look at it again: AM_CONDITIONAL(MAKE_LIBJSERV, test x$apache_dir_is_src = xfalse) This probably means: set MAKE_LIBJSERV to true *unless* apache_dir_is_src is set to false (in which case it wouldn't make sense...) Then it would make more sense. So, I guess this leave only two problems on your end of things: First, the problem with configuring outside the srcdir, and second the problem with configure not reporting what is going wrong.
