Ahh I see. So your thoughts are to fix the bindist relocation problem,
having apr-util look in all the shlibpath dirs to find apr-util-1/*
would be the solution.
As for traditional yet relocated builds, say with --prefix=/bogus/path
and installed in /usr/lib, well that will require an envvar fixup
regardless.
And envvar would really only be necessary if for some reason the shlib
dir was one not specified via one of the platform's env variables.
I did file the following bug:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45327
against apache since the problem is the bindist stuff isn't handling
this. If you're plan is for apr-util to fix it, I can redirect the bug
to APR. However, do you have an idea of if you're thinking longer term
(at least a few releases out) or shorter term workaround in envvars (or
something like that) and then fixing apr-util longer term? If it's the
former I think we can handle the workaround in our apache builds and
just watch out for the longer term fix.
Thanks,
Andy
