Is the thinking though to drop MP_AP_PREFIX? Win32 could use
the location of (an installed) apxs instead, if available,
but at present we don't assume apxs is present. Or one could
use the location of the installed Apache.exe - that would
probably be better.
We are discussing to drop only for DSO. The static build will still use MP_AP_PREFIX.
btw, what win32 sources are you talking about? httpd source?
An alternative solution is not to disable the DSO build against
MP_AP_PREFIX, but die on 'make test' if it's attempted w/o specifying apxs and of course changing the perl Makefile.PL to ask for the apxs/httpd instead of the source.
This solution sounds like a good one to me so far. Keeping MP_AP_PREFIX
is acceptable, it's just that instead of meaning "either an apache installation
tree or an apache source", we'd make it an apache installation path _unless_
it's a static build.
Well, that's not exactly what I was suggesting. Let's no redefine the meaning of MP_AP_PREFIX on the fly, besides 'apache-installation-path' doesn't exist on most prepackaged distros, since things are spread around the system. I was talking to keep things as they are but refuse 'make test' w/o httpd passed and not ask for MP_AP_PREFIX if no args are passed to Makefile.PL, or ask for it, if the user has failed to path httpd/apxs values.
